Fine Art Piece for sale!
"Sunday Morning"
My name is S. LaDon Ware, and I am a multimedia folk artist out
of Savannah, GA.
The
painting is entitled “Sunday Morning” It depicts the moment
before CHRIST reveals himself to a distraught Mary Magdalene, after HE has
risen from the dead. It is a 5 feet x 2 ½ feet multimedia piece in what I call
the “Neo-Byzantine Icon” writing style.* With the inclusion of the various
media elements (some of which extend up to an inch from the painting’s
surface), a Shadowbox style frame will be required.
The multimedia elements used are: acrylic paint, watercolor
markers, crayon, metallic paint, puff paint, colored pencils, found Styrofoam,
casting compound, linen, fabric, sand, paper clay, craft fur, twine,
colored/textured paper, silk/plastic leaves and vines, and bamboo. The project
is near completion. The amount we are seeking for the shadowbox frame is
$850.00 (this is mostly surrounding the cost of the UV coated acrylic
"glass" necessary for the size, and the longevity of the paint,
fabric, and various other elements on the painting). With these factors,
the frame is required in order to preserve and protect the piece.
The motivation behind the production of this work is a desire to
help others with very limited resources. The hope is to gift any and all
proceeds from the general sale of this work to assist The Manning’s in their
efforts to adopt a baby girl from China. The price we are shooting to raise for
the piece is $10,000.00. Our initial asking price will be $5,500.00 unframed
and $6,500.00 framed, of course we pray to do much better than that for Matthew
and Bethany. As a folk artist with limited income, the decision was made to
donate my abilities and time as a means to support their noble goal.
Being directed spiritually on how and what to do with each media element,
we realize it was only through Inspiration that this project was
completed (my humble abilities falling far short of the mark to produce
the piece's eventual outcome). So, in that spirit, we intend to bless them with
the sale of this piece as I was blessed in delivering it.
We thank you in advance for your support, help, prayers, and
well wishes in bringing this project to fruition.
**TRADITIONALLY ICONS ARE DESCRIBED AS BEING
WRITTEN NOT DRAWN OR PAINTED.
Dossier to CHINA!
Well everyone, drum roll please!! Our Dossier has FINALLY been sent to China! We are now waiting on our Log in Date (LID) date. That will take about 3-4 weeks. That will be the date everything else is based off of! Please pray for all the personnel that will be reviewing our final in China and America. Please pray God will lead each one of them to match us with the little girl God meant to be ours from before time began!! We know there is NOTHING random or happenstance about any of this. We can't wait to see the amazing little girl He has chosen for us!!
