ABOUT THE PAINTING

BONA FORTUNA: Acrylic on canvas, 1 x 3 FT.

From Latin, this phrase literally translates to “good luck”. I have carried it with me from high school when my Latin teacher would say it in a sing song manner while passing out weekly quizzes. Luck meant something different then and I find it an ever changing concept even now.

Luck, for me, is best defined with quotes these days, like Samuel Goldwyn saying, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” or the Seneca attribution of “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” I guess it boils down to believing that we create our own luck. But, can that be the only reason such an idea is so important that it’s given a name, throughout history and cultures across oceans?

As I was finishing this piece, it was already sold and became a bit of a commission. I thought of this person, her family coin collectors and coins historically becoming talismans for luck. I looked up other talismans. What made those things bear significance, was it hope for or intention within? I imagined myself imbuing this piece with luck, through strokes of my paintbrush. I cannot say whether this piece will bring this person luck but I can say that I feel blessed that she had such immediate connection to this piece. I hope this blessing she gave follows her through this canvas and the lifetime they will now share. How lucky are we both?

To ensure the leather print on your product is as durable as possible, we’ve worked hard refining our printing process and craftsmanship. As leather has a naturally textured surface, you may notice small surface differences. This is common for natural leather and leather printing. All leathers age naturally according to usage, and this can cause the print to wrinkle or fade slightly over time. It is possible the base color may show through the leather as it ages with wear. When not in use, we recommend storing your product in a protective dust bag or box to keep it looking its best. • Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, sunlight, water, and chemical cleaners to maintain a bright and long-lasting print. • Avoid contact with light-colored fabrics or upholstery as the color may transfer. • While a light rain shower is unlikely to harm, we recommend protecting from rain. Should your product get wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat. • To clean surface wipe only with a damp lint-free cotton cloth.

  • Wipe with a lint free cloth
  • Do Not Wash
