THE STORY
“Casting all your care upon God, for He cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7
A friend of mine who was in her nineties, seemed to be very good at following this scripture. Even though she went through many (physical) difficulties since she was a child. Because of a weakness in her lungs, they had told her as a child that she wouldn’t live very long.
When we got to know each other we were surprised at how similar we were, we had a lot of the same interests. We laughed a lot together. She loved singing and told me how she would sing very loudly along with the church service on TV on Sundays. We would laugh about what her neighbours might think.
My friend died some time ago and this artwork captures who she was to me. She was always there for other people, had an open mind and didn’t complain much when things were hard for her.
One time she wrote me a card in winter time telling me that she was so amazed by the snow on the trees. She wrote: “I count my blessings that I can still experience such beauty in my old age.”
How I hope that I can still enjoy such little beauties when I’m in my nineties :)

THE ORIGINAL

- Size and Material
It is painted with acrylic paints on acrylic paper. The size is 300 x 400 mm. There’s a small white border around the painting where it was taped to my easel. This border is a bit damaged at some places when I took the tape off. You can choose to cut it off or keep it. The painting is signed.
The artwork is sprayed with a varnish so that it will be more protected from dust, dirt and light. Next to this I would advice to frame the painting in a frame with special UV-glass to avoid any possible color loss over the years – especially if it will be hung in a sunny spot. - Shipping
