It was awe inspiring, we stopped and filled water bottles to drink the beautiful clear spring water, as the sun was setting behind us. I liked the picture so much I had to paint it and just like Gods mercy, it is the best water I have ever had.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor me this painting is about living faith and Gods abundant provision. The faith shown by my daughter to not only collect the fresh water and drink it, but also how Gods love and provision can come in torrents, at great speed and overflow our cups. Water is an essential part of life and God is the living water within us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCanvas s\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eize:\u003c\/b\u003e 50 x 40cm (20\"\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ex 16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCanvas depth: \u003c\/strong\u003e2cm (0.79\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMedium used:\u003c\/b\u003e Oil paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDate of creation:\u003c\/b\u003e 26th January 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePainting Surface: \u003c\/strong\u003eLinen treated canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eType of varnish\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eGamblin Gamvar Satin varnish (13\/09\/26)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReady to Hang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs framing is a personal choice, please note that all paintings are sold and shipped as unframed, as standard shipping practice for Painted canvases. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis painting features a 2cm gallery-wrap profile and arrives ready to hang, unframed with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eD-rings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and high-quality \u003cb\u003epicture wire\u003c\/b\u003e on the back of the wooden stretcher bars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
