Giclee prints on stretched canvas made from my triptych painting "Holding the High Watch", a large original fluid abstract painting made on three canvases.
The images evoke a feeling of upliftment. As I was painting the original, I heard the term "holding the high watch" for the first time. It was being used to refer to a situation where an individual has a choice to take the a higher path rather than to fall into a less noble or elevated state of being, particularly in reference to how we regard the people in our lives. If we seek and bear witness to the best and the highest in others, we will find the best and the highest in our lives, in ourselves and in those we love. Sometimes it takes just a small amount of encouragement to hold fast to a higher spiritual state. This phrase really spoke to me and became an integral part of the painting.
Printed with rich, vivid archival pigment inks on a thick poly-cotton archival quality fine art canvas with a glossy finish. The image is mirror wrapped around the sides, and the canvas is hand-stretched on to 1.5" deep kiln-dried wooden stretcher bars and stapled on the back. Ready to hang with pre-attached hanging wire. The printed canvas has a smooth canvas texture.
