‘The Protected’

8.5" x 11" Print of Original Oil Painting by Shelley Irish
9.25” x 11.75” total dimension including frame

Framed Fine Art Giclée Print on Metallic Paper

*No Gallery Sati watermark appears on the print. Please note that the first picture is taken at an angel to reduce glare and reflection. Each physical framed print is rectangular with lovely squared corners.*

These metallic prints are fantastic for representing oil paintings. They have a pearlescent white point that closely mimics oil painting in a way I have not seen duplicated. The whites are the perfect amount of shiny, like oil paintings are, and the shadows are luxuriously luminescent. Each print comes in a frame protected by glass with a sawtooth hanger attached to the back, ready for hanging on the wall.

I hand package every print carefully, using corner protectors and padding to protect your print through shipment. It ships flat through USPS Priority Mail.

Every print comes with my official Certificate of Authenticity, which I sign once the print is sold. If you would like me to dedicate the print to you or the person you are buying it for, please indicate so in the notes section.

Description of original oil painting used to make the print:

The Protected represents a balanced root chakra. The woman lays peacefully against the earth holding a white flag. She is represented as surrendering to the comfortable peace of her land with the energy of her world ancestors encompassing her safety. Her energy is drawn inwards to the center and she is governed by gravity and new beginnings.

The guiding principals behind both The Protected and the balance of the first chakra, or Muladhara in Sanskrit, are the element of earth and the force of gravity. The first Chakra is located in and around our legs, its color is red, it's vibrations are slow and survival is it's goal. A figure lays awakened renewed from the underworld, has all she needs for survival and holds the white flag of peace.

Blessed Be!
