Accent - Limited Edition of 10 Print

"The transfiguration" or "the journey of the soul to the afterlife" and "the triumph of the soul over the physical realm" ~the eternal nature of love. Death is a door nothing less, and nothing more. I want to create work that will last generations -and to do this, there is no better medium than oil on canvas to lock in the colors. I want to capture the spirit of an event rather than document it. I think that this is a potent image, being that it is minimalistic and impressionistic, and iconic. It is not a religious image, but a spiritual one. It was through the work of Dr. Peter Fenwick and his wife Eliza that I realized that my suspicion that religion itself is worthwhile but completely unnecessary in gaining access to paradise. After studying thousands of Near-Death Experiences, they found common recurring themes, among people of all faiths, and those who (like myself) are agnostic, and those who did not even believe in an afterlife -all -and never had! I found his work wonderfully re-assuring -as would anyone else. We all suffer the fear of dying (naturally) "we would hardly be human if we did not" but this is of course our cultural bias, and in ancient "primitive" cultures death was celebrated as (it is) a part of life. They simply saw it as "the transition" from the corporeal to the spiritual -from the temporary to the external. I often think that it is much more appropriate to celebrate when someone dies, after all (assuming they have led a good life), it means that that person has entered into paradise, forever! If that isn't worth throwing a party for -I really don't know what is? Of course, when someone dies, we mourn "losing" them from our lives, and naturally, we miss them, but this is our sorrow -not theirs.

Chromoluxe Reproductions: (Limited edition of 10 only for any of my images). Chromoluxe means two things: Durability and Definition. This exclusive edition of 10 images will be created using the new Chromoluxe aluminum printing technique for high-quality large format art. The colors leap from the surface to produce vibrant melodious images. Your investment will retain its birth-date energy and integrity. You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house). This print will be scratch-resistant, durable, and will retain the image’s vibrancy ~for a lifetime. This is 21st-century printing, high definition and literally, state-of-the-art. Very few places in the world can produce an image of this size, in this format. Not only will you have a collectible work of art, but it will be rendered in the cutting-edge format. Durable, appreciable, and gallery-quality. Side on, the print appears as a slip sheet of aluminum, from the front, the colors are glossy and intensely vivid. The panel has smoothed corners and looks sleek and elegant. (You can opt for a matte finish if you prefer). Your beautiful art will be carefully packaged in a custom-made box with plenty of protection for shipping. Shipping is tracked and signed for as standard. Takes approximately three weeks to get ready to ship. *(The estimated weight is based on Canvas Gallery Wrap 1.5" deep with 1 Layer of Resin).
