<br>
</span>This beautiful painting has been donated to the Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada to raise funds in support of <strong><em>First Nations Women’s</em></strong> <strong><em>organizations.</em></strong> We are delighted to announce a limited edition run of prints of this painting, signed and numbered by the Artist, David Alexander Risk for sale. We have named this painting <strong>'Awakening'. </strong>All proceeds will go to First Nations Women’s organizations here in Canada.<br>
Your 'Awakening' print will be delivered by courier on acid-free cardboard backing with a full biography of the Artist and shrink-wrapped for safe shipping. The size of the print including a border is 27 x 19.5 inches.<br>
The cost of this print is $125 plus $15 shipping for a total of $140. <span class="h3_MakingWaves"><br>
<strong><br>
</strong></span><strong>About the Artist </strong><span class="h3_MakingWaves"><strong><em><br>
</em></strong><br>
</span>Although David Alexander Risk is an Algonquin Park wildlife artist of renown, he began a new style of painting a few years ago in order to honour Canada’s First Nations people who first inhabited the Park. <strong><em>Awakening </em></strong>is the first limited edition print of this different direction in painting style. <br>
<br>
Risk uses oil paints, acrylics, water colour, egg tempera, gouache, pen and ink and pencil to achieve the stunning effects he desires. His great love of nature and life is shown in his extraordinary ability to capture the life and realism of his subjects. His discerning eye for critical detail and remarkable realism make his paintings highly praised and sought after by private and corporate collectors. David Risk’s original works and limited edition prints have also been presented and are hanging in such collections as the British Royal Family, a former Prime Minister of Canada, a former Premier of Ontario, as well as entertainer Bob Hope. Risk is happily married and lives with his family near Algonquin Park.<span class="h3_MakingWaves"><br>
<br>
</span>Please think about the value of this art as well as the gift to First Nations women. As with all art, this original investment of $125 has the potential to increase dramatically with time. To order your <strong>'Awakening'</strong> print, contact the WICC office at 416-929-5184 or click<a href="documents/AwakeningOrderForm.pdf"> here</a>.</p>
