"Our Lady of Patience" is a large contemporary oil painting of the Virgin Mary. Completed in Exeter, this 60 inch x 48 inch large original oil painting took approximately two months to finish with the many layers of thin oil paint that had to be applied to produce an almost luminous effect to the blue cloth. This original oil painting is signed on the edge of the deep edge canvas.

This painting is new, in that it is an original unsold work of art, but being an original painting there is obviously no original packaging etc.

All my paintings are original works, are signed and come with a certificate of authenticity. My early works often had edges that were unpainted and the techniques I used left areas of the canvas open.

Please note that my early works were stored at my studio and some may have scuff marks here and there. I try to photograph obvious marks but please zoom in on the photos to get a closer look at the work. Also, please check the photo of the back of the painting as unless stated there may or may not be hanging chords or hooks attached. As always, please feel free to contact me with any queries - John.
