This beautiful painting is an original by Anne Page of Penny Pickles. It is an 8 x 8 canvas, done with acrylics, sealed and framed with a simple wooden frame. (click on the picture to see it larger and get a better feel for the details)
A note from the artist:
The title of the painting is Noah's Window - the reason I chose this is because I think the sense of hope that the dove gave to Noah and his family is very much the same type of hope that the money generated from this auction will bring. The hope that IJM brings to so many that are oppressed in our world. I'd like to think that Noah, although faithful, looked out a window of the ark and saw the dove with the olive branch and exclaimed, "Amen, Praise the Lord, for He is good and He will care for us all!"
A few months ago I bought a custom piece from Annie for Genevieve's room. I absolutely fell in love with it when I received it. (The details in her work simply can't be captured with a photo). Annie follows this blog and when she saw the Justice Giraffe auction, she volunteered to do a piece to auction off as well. I was thrilled!
