The Immanuel Project

This painting represents the first in a series of paintings that I am doing for the purpose of making church banners. This one has already been produced as a banner and is currently in the sanctuary of St. Stephens church in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. Each banner will have a scripture associated with it. The banners are intended to be seasonal according to the church calendar.
The paintings are being scanned at 400 dpi which produces a very large digital file so that the artwork can be enlarged as needed. This one is printed on artists canvas which I think will prove to be the material of choice. the canvas hangs very nicely and is very durable. the ink is light fast so my hope is that fading should not be significant. Using this process custom banners can also be done without a lot of brain damage.


My hope over the next (2006) year to produce a banner for each season. This completed banner is for the Christmas season. I should be able to post the completed banner in the next couple of days but thought you might enjoy seeing the project as it develops.
