The Golden Season
Original 1/1 (40"T x 30"W) oil painting, depicting a summer field of freshly-bound hay bales in Cumberland County, Maine.
I shot the reference for this artwork on the day my son returned from serving a two year mission for our church to Costa Rica. My heart was so full of joy and gratitude that morning as I ran errands to get ready for his home-coming.
When I drove past this field, I had to pull off the road, get out of my car, and walk out into those fields to capture the fresh glowing haystacks in the summer sun. Those bales of someone's hard work were symbolic in a way. The field of souls where my son had labored had been white, was threshed and brought in, and had been safely gathered to Christ. My boy had worked hard, loved even harder, and was coming home. He had found meaning in teaching others about His Savior. My mama heart was brimming with joy. This piece is named then, The Golden Season. I hope this original finds the home where it will bring light, peace, and depth of meaning to the beholders therein. It will take a piece of my heart with it.
The artwork is temporarily framed in reclaimed timber from my children's former jungle gym. The artwork may be shipped in its current rustic frame, or unframed for your personal preferences with a discount of $400.
