Look to Him | Signed Handmade Art Print

From my studio to your home, these prints are a testament to the beauty and depth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Utilizing the highest quality Giclee printing process with acid-free archival inks on museum-grade fine art paper, these prints capture the essence of each painting with stunning clarity and color depth. I handmake and sign each piece, reflecting my commitment to bring you timeless and affordable Christ-centered art.

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” This piece, "Look to Him," shows the guidance of Jesus as He walks with a child through a peaceful winter forest. The crisp snow and soft light create an atmosphere of quiet reflection, drawing attention to the companionship and love of our Savior as He leads the way.

What I love most about this piece is the way the child looks up at Jesus, fully trusting in His presence and direction. To me, this is the heart of our relationship with Him—walking hand in hand, relying on His wisdom and grace to guide us through life's challenges. The warmth of His robe against the cold, snowy landscape symbolizes His love and protection, which are the same in all seasons.

As we celebrate Christmas, "Look to Him" helps us see that Jesus is our personal guide, leading us on the path of righteousness. Psalm 25:4-5 speaks of seeking His ways and trusting in His truth. In this scene, I wanted to show the simplicity and beauty of following Him with childlike faith, knowing that He will never leave us or lead us astray.

"Look to Him" is the perfect addition to your home this Christmas, reminding all who see it of the Savior’s love and the joy of trusting Him fully. Imagine this peaceful scene hanging in your living room or as a gift to a loved one, helping them remember to look to Him in faith and hope. Bring "Look to Him" into your home and let it encourage you to draw closer to the Savior this season and always.

Print Details

This process ensures a reproduction that is virtually indistinguishable from the original artwork.
  
  
• Ink and Paper Quality: I use acid-free archival inks and museum-grade fine art paper to guarantee that each print meets the highest standards of quality and remains fade-resistant for up to 100 years under proper care.
  
  
• Sizes Available: Prints are available in several sizes to perfectly fit your space - 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20 inches. Each size is carefully chosen to maintain the integrity and proportions of the original artwork.

Care Instructions for Your Art Print

To ensure that your art print remains a vibrant and inspiring part of your space for years to come, please follow these care instructions:

• Display Away from Direct Sunlight: To preserve the colors and prevent fading, position your print away from direct sunlight. Even though the archival inks are designed to be long-lasting, sunlight can accelerate the aging process.
  
  
• Use Proper Framing: Protect your print by framing it behind UV-protective glass or acrylic. This not only adds an extra layer of protection against sunlight but also enhances the display of your artwork. Note: I prepare hand embellished prints using a special protective sealer so that you can display the print without glass, just like an original painting.
  
  
• Handle with Care: When handling your print, consider using clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. The natural oils from skin can affect the paper and inks over time.
  
  
• Avoid Humidity: Try to hang your print in an environment with stable and moderate humidity. Excessive moisture can lead to paper warping or ink degradation.
  
  
• Dust Gently: To clean the surface of your print or its protective glass, use a soft, dry, and lint-free cloth. Gently wipe away dust without applying pressure, which could scratch the surface.

By following these care instructions, you can enjoy the beauty and inspiration of your divine art print for many generations. Thank you for inviting this sacred piece into your home.

Embellished Print Option

For those seeking an even more personalized and tactile experience with their chosen art piece, I offer an exclusive embellished print option. This optional process allows you to enhance your fine art print with hand-applied details that elevate the artwork to a new level of depth and vibrancy.

What is an Embellished Print? Each embellished print is carefully hand-finished by me, the artist, using high-quality acrylic paints and gel medium. This process involves adding textured brushstrokes and highlights to the print, meticulously following the contours and color variations of the original painting. The result is a unique piece that bridges the gap between a standard print and an original painting, offering a textural and visual richness that elevates the original artwork.

Why Choose an Embellished Print?

• Enhanced Texture and Depth: The added brushstrokes and textures bring a dynamic, three-dimensional quality to the print, making the art come alive on your walls.
  
  
• Unique Artistry: With each embellishment, your print becomes a one-of-a-kind work of art, imbued with a personal touch and creative vision.
  
  
• Increased Value: Embellished prints hold greater value due to their enhanced uniqueness and the additional artist's labor involved in creating them.

How to Add the Embellished Print Option: When purchasing your print, simply select the "Hand Embellished" option on the product page before adding the print to your cart. Please note that this process requires additional creation time, ensuring that each embellishment meets the highest standards of quality and beauty.

The Story Behind the Art

My name is Chris Brazelton, and The Painted Gospel is a ministry to share my original Christ-centered art. Every painting begins in a place of reflection and prayer, where I seek guidance and draw inspiration from the scriptures. Each painting is rooted in a specific Biblical story or passage, and made to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. You'll find these stories detailed in the descriptions of each painting, inviting you to explore and connect with the deeper messages they convey. I hope that each piece shines as a beacon in any space to strengthen the faith of your family, friends, visitors, small group, or congregation. These pieces also make perfect gifts for loved ones on any occasion.
