The collection
What is hanging now
Seven works, printed at 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 inches and framed by hand in Hamilton, Ontario. Every piece is $29.99 CAD framed, or any three for $74.99. One of the seven is a triptych whose three panels hang together, which makes it the three-for price as a set. Every placard names the passage the picture comes from, and every passage links to its full text.
A set of three
Even to Your Old Age
One road, one light, one hand held, at three ages of a single life. The panels are made to hang in this order across a wall and are sold as the set they were made as, $74.99 CAD for all three. Isaiah 46:4 is where the title comes from: even to old age, even to grey hairs, I will carry you.

The texts
Which passage is each piece from?
Every reference links to the full passage in the World English Bible, which is in the public domain. A picture that will not tell you where it came from is decoration; these are signposts.
| Piece | Passage | What it pictures |
|---|---|---|
| Amongst the Lampstands the maker's favourite | Revelation 1:11 | The Son of Man among seven golden lampstands, which Revelation 1:20 says are the seven assemblies, under eyes like a flame of fire. |
| Even to Your Old Age | Isaiah 46:4 | A triptych: the same road and the same held hand as a girl becomes a woman and then an elder with grey hair. The promise in the verse is to carry her the whole way. |
| Walking on the Sea | Matthew 14:25 | The fourth watch of the night, seen from the waterline: bare feet on storm water, a lantern-lit boat ahead. |
| The Crown of Thorns | John 19:2 | The plaited crown and the scourged shoulders, from behind, with soldiers and a cross in the smoke. |
| Jonah | Jonah 1:17 | The moment before the fish: a man in heavy seas and the shape rising behind him. |
| A Little Child Shall Lead Them | Isaiah 11:6 | The peace of the coming kingdom, as a child and a lion walk the same morning path. |
| I Turned to See the Voice | Revelation 1:12 | The same vision as Amongst the Lampstands, one verse on and seen from much further back: a small figure in the dark walking toward a low row of lit lampstands. The words set into the artwork are a different translation from the World English Bible text linked here. |
Also made
Are there bookmarks?
Yes, nine of them, and they are their own range rather than offcuts of the framed work. Each is a finished design printed edge to edge on card at 2 x 7.5 inches, with its passage set into the artwork. Four share a scene with something on the wall; the other five, including the Song of Moses, the pillar of fire and David and Goliath, exist only as bookmarks.
They carry the Sons of Scripture mark on the back, and two carry it on the front, because these were made for the ministry before they were made for sale. That is the same room this studio came out of.
Hover or tap any card to see it larger.

All 9 are 2 x 7.5 in. Not priced on the site yet, so ask.
Email [email protected] to ask which are in stock and what they cost. The framed prices on this page do not apply to bookmarks, and no bookmark price is printed here until it is a real one.
Two of the nine are the same verse, Isaiah 43:1, set two different ways, and two turn a wide scene on its side so it runs the length of the card. Both are noted under the cards rather than left for you to notice on arrival.
The cards are 4:15, which is a 2 x 7.5 inch cut. That ratio is measured from the artwork files; the inches are the standard size it matches, so ask before buying for a specific book if the fit matters.
Fitting the wall
Which size fits which wall?
11 x 17 is the across-the-room size. Over a desk or a dresser, above a workbench, on the wall facing a doorway: anywhere the piece is read from six feet or more, the larger print still reads as a scene instead of a postage stamp. One of them alone holds a wall.
8.5 x 11 is the arm's-length size. Beside a monitor, along a hallway, in a pair or a trio on a stairway, on a bookshelf lean. Two in matching frames make a stronger grouping than one oversized piece squeezed where it does not fit.
Wide scenes hang their size turned sideways. Walking on the Sea, The Crown of Thorns, Jonah and A Little Child Shall Lead Them are the print rotated, so they measure 17 x 11 on the wall and want a wider space than the portrait pieces.
The triptych needs a run of wall. Three 11 x 17 panels side by side with a hand's width between them comes to 44 inches, a little over four feet. Above a sofa, a bed or a console is its usual home, and because it reads as a sequence it wants to be taken in left to right in one glance.
Both sizes are standard North American frame sizes, so any piece can be re-matted or re-framed years later without custom work.
Both drawings are straight-on elevations at one unit to the inch, with an 8 foot ceiling, so the pieces are shown at their true proportion rather than scaled to flatter. All the measurements and hanging heights are on their own page.
