About the work
A weathered and war-torn angel, protecting a child. An image with more relevance today than I ever could have imagined.
I began this work many years ago, when my youngest daughter was aged five or so. Interesting to note– I had unintentionally used her likeness, as is evident when comparing my daughters baby photos to the child in the painting. In any event, it sat unfinished over the years and only in 2018 did it capture my attention with clarity enough that I had a sense to complete the work.
Angel and Child, with its rugged appearance, has so much more meaning today than when I first began this work of art. It's a great reminder to pray for your children and for all children, that they would come under divine protection.
Essential materials such as papers and canvas have been carefully selected to enhance the quality of all archival reproductions. To learn more about this giclee reproduction and the materials and finishes we have selected, visit tabs Materials and Finishes.
A few things to note
Print size(s) available: 10 x 20 (this is not the over-all size of work)
We've partnered with a trusted fine art reproduction company in the USA, ensuring that each work we ship is constructed by hand with great attention to detail and is of exceptional quality. We select materials to best enhance each work by using archival grade papers, canvas, conservation grade mat boards and archival quality acrylic glass, which not only protects the work from UV damage but is lighter, won't break in transit, and creates a beautiful layer - free from reflective glare.
Your new work will arrive with a Certificate of Authentication, and ready to hang (unless of course you ordered a print only, in which case it will be shipped flat, protected, and ready for framing).

Framing and other finishing options
We've selected matting, framing, and other finish elements to best present and preserve each work. In particular, we have a preference for solid hardwood frame construction, but we'll also offer frames of other materials, so long as they meet our standard of qualities.
As for framed work requiring glazing (glass), we use an acrylic glass, which has benefits beyond that of traditional glass. Besides being lighter in weight, it avoids the high risk of glass breakage in transit. It also helps to protect work from UV sun exposure and produces a wonderful image free of glare and reflection.
Preserve your new work for generations to come.

Would you like another frame option?
We've paired frames with a goal to enhance the presence of each work, and while we think they look great, it may not be just right for you or your space.
Perhaps you prefer wood-tone to metallic, or contemporary to ornate. Whatever your reason, we'll gladly offer you up to three images of available framing options for you to consider.
Here's what you need to do – click Ask a question (under Add To Cart) and submit a message containing a few details that will help us to create options. We will get back to you by email, usually within 48 hours.
Tip: consider color, over-all size, material, mat, cost, and the over-all mood you want to achieve.
If we can't quite get it right within our boutique ability, we recommend a visit to your local custom framer to achieve your perfect finish. Works available in more common sizes are also a great fit for ready-made frame options as well.
A frame not only enhances the work itself, but can also initiate how the work is experienced within a space. The right frame can make something moody and strong, or soothing and subtle.
