Painted live at the 2025 Baptist Assembly.
All week before the baptist assembly I felt drawn to the colour purple, flowers, fields of wild flowers, lavender, but particularly our row of iris' in our garden.
They're standing taller than ever and are the most vibrant I have ever seen. I know I needed to paint Iris' at the baptist assembly and prayed as to why.
I felt that this was a declaration of our identity as Baptists together and despite how we may feel we are a chosen people and a Royal Priesthood.
The verse from 1 Peter was incorporated into the background of the painting:
'But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.'
You will notice that the painting has two 'full bloom' flowers. I wonder if this is a declaration over a couple, perhaps a marriage that together there is a promise of fruitfulness, there are lots of yet to bloom Iris' are in the background.
Limited to just 25 copies measuring 40cm by 40cm size, the print comes signed and in a mount which measures approx 50.by 50cm, ready to frame. (You can order it framed too!)
Here's the technical bit:
The white art paper is made from 100% alpha cellulose is characterised by its extraordinary velvety tactile feel and its fine, clearly defined felt structure.
The unique surface texture adds a very special touch to images, showcasing them in all their splendour with impressive three-dimensional effect and depth.
