I've a studio a local businessman subsidized. He would have liked a place in town square that featured spiritual paintings. I've found some extremely nice pieces and I am in possession of a lot of folk purchase paintings that I have found. One of my favourite artists is somebody that I really came across when I was purchasing non secular paintings. He wasn't famous, but he had some of his pieces at a local show. I discovered that he basically paints and sells his work on the web. It is tough to describe all the feelings I had when I saw his first piece. I actually liked that he exploited the scripture Psalm 139:14 and made it carefully understandable in the layers of fresco colours.

I believed that this appears to have been a fantastic choice for my studio. When my painting arrived, it was on studio wrap in. stretcher frames and was prepared to hang. My patrons came to a personal preview of the piece and were so pleased with my success at purchasing non secular paintings. The piece was essentially 5 original canvases, each 15" X 30" with black painted studio wrap edges so that no frames were required. The title of the piece was long, but suitable.

The title was "I will praise thee for I'm fearfully made excellent are Thy works and that my soul knoweth right well". One of my patrons needed to purchase it and hang it in his home. I had to persuade him to let me show it for 4 months before he probably did that. It is tough work finding and purchasing acceptable non secular paintings. In all the time that I have spent taking a look at and buying religious paintings, I'm beginning to feel like a maven. I try and find paintings in a selection of mediums to keep the studio feeling fresh and colourful. I really have no preference if an artist signs his canvas or not. So, when I'm purchasing spiritual paintings, I try and find ones the artist signed. The artist that I made a decision was my personal fave uses the lost language of symbolism in his original paintings. He informed me that his non secular paintings are impressed by the traditional storytelling frescoes of Pompeii, Italy. He has got a trademark style that he calls Spiritual Graffiti.

I am getting plenty of requests for certain subjects in the non secular paintings that I buy. I've been searching for religious paintings of Mary and Jesus and also painting of Mary and Angel Gabriel. I have a couple of families that have wanted these classic photographs in their houses. I have another family that wants me to find an oil Madonna with Kid to hang in her church. There had been one spiritual painting that I acquired that was extremely sweet. The picture of Our Woman , Jesus and St Giovannino was extraordinarily provocative and it hung prominently in the studio for half a year before I let it go.

I am getting attached to the non secular paintings that I buy and then get to view each day. I've a policy that no painting will leave the walls of the studio for 4 months. My new favorite piece is an abstract triptych that I found while I was in Atlanta purchasing non secular paintings. The piece was called Guardian Angel and I like it. They have asked me to hunt down the artist and see whether he has any more religious paintings available. The sole non secular paintings that I really don't buy are ones that reflect the picture of Jesus on the cross. I haven't got an issue with them, a few of them are amazingly well done and would likely sell well, but my backers made it awfully clear when they subsidized the studio that I wouldn't put that image into it.
