Very pleased with the image, color, printing . My selection of printing onto wood is great for this image. There are a few mildly dark lines which are natural to wood. They show through the image and contribute to the image--glad that none of these was over the face of the horse rider.

Perfect! I wish that you'd included a translation of the two inscriptions in some ancient language that are above the shoulders of St John Coltrane. It would cost your company virtually nothing to supply this with the picture.
Artist's Description
This painting is my 21st Century version of the ending of W. B. Yeats' "A Prayer for My Daughter," 1919:
"How but in custom and in ceremony
Are innocence and beauty born?
Ceremony's a name for the rich horn,
And custom for the spreading laurel tree."
Yeats bases the poem on numerous references to varied folk-classical Greco-Roman-Irish mythologies of Daphne and Apollo, and with his deep involvement with long-standing Irish - British hostile politics and violent skirmishes. Along with that now hopefully remote complexity, Yeats' interweaves his own personal symbols and religious-political beliefs and biases.
In the basic story, Apollo falls in love with Daphne, godess of the moon, virginity, and forests. But as Apollo pursues Daphne, she is saved from rape by being turned into a Laurel tree. In some versions Apollo then is turned into a hunting horn! In Yeats' poem, this relationship represents something like a two-bedroom peacefull co-e...
About Bruce Combs - REACH BEYOND
REACH BEYOND, my logo and general theme and goal, usually is the first painting on the left of the top row, or near there. Go ahead and click on it now to open it up for a much better look. And if you're interested, then just go on to more of the paintings. You can always come back and read what I wrote about me. But I seriously hope that these paintings present various facets of my perceptions of our world -- or wishes FOR it -- more vividly -- or at least differently -- than writing can. They mutely show what objects and situations I think merit attention and from what points of view I choose to present them and in what medium and style. I hope that perhaps some, or even a part of one, will touch and vibrate with some part of you,...

Beautiful piece of artwork Bruce. You sure can ramble on but I've been known to also. My view on this painting of your as seen through my eyes. She rides across the sky on the red horse of fire and passion. The wake she leaves in her path is pure joy to all she touches. We look for her return but see her not, for she is like a shooting star. She touches our life then on she goes. We turn and she is gone, for fire and passion burns that way but she lives on for ever. How many lives and how many heart will feel that spark of that girl on the fiery red house, that shines brighter even then the summer sun. Though only once she passed through our life , in our hearts she'll remain for ever more.
