"All is Light" Antique-Framed Oil Painting - 42.75" x 33"

The Inspiration

Painted/named from a poem by John Bowring.

Where do I begin with this special piece?... I began the painting when a friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but before I could tell her what I was working on for her, she passed. As such, a portion of its sale will go toward a nonprofit that aids in the bills of cancer patients.

I wanted a smooth sea- slightly unruly in nature but silky smooth just the same- to be contrasted by the spiky purple thistles. The sun is bright and it appears to be actually glowing. There is so much texture in this piece that if you view it from an angle, you can see the layers built up. It has deep scratches in the layers to bring out colors underneath. The flowers were created with a combination of scratching and paint. This painting took many, many hours and many, many layers. It was a true labor of love and one I am so very proud of. I used colors I thought my friend would like. (A portion of the proceeds will go to a nonprofit that financially helps cancer patients with bills.)

This special painting symbolizes joy through grief, as simple as that. Spiky thistles, smooth sea. Thundering clouds, bright sun. The highs and lows, hand-in-hand, to create a full life. How dull would life be without the harmonious balance of perfect contrast?

This piece is huge at 42.75" x 33" (frame size.) As such, the shipping cost is included in the listed price; however, if you are local, please reach out for the price without the shipping cost included. I will deliver for free within a 100 mile radius of Beaufort, SC, or you are most welcome to come pick up and enjoy the shipping removed from the cost.

About

Oil on custom hardboard, nestled in the largest antique frame I've ever found. The frame is in great antique condition, and is very sturdy for its age. It does have character and some flaws, which I personally think adds to the story. Please see all photos. It is solid hardwood with carved floral relief, so it is heavy and substantial. Absolutely gorgeous and complements the floral seascape perfectly. I painted this scene specifically for this frame.
