{"product_id":"eternal-shepherd-celebration-print","title":"Eternal Shepherd, Celebration Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA solitary shepherd walks forward through open country, his flock gathering around him, some close beside him, others moving ahead, a few trailing behind. Eternal Shepherd was built predominantly with a palette knife in acrylic impasto, with granular texture paste worked into the sheep, the grasses and the ground, then finished with an oil paint overwash and ink, inspired by the words “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”, John 10:27.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was shown at the Echoes of the Earth exhibition at INARA Manor House in July 2026, and more people sought the artist out to speak about this painting than about any other work in the show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe original painting is still available.\u003c\/strong\u003e It may be seen at Osner Gallery in Hout Bay, and you can \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eternal-shepherd\"\u003eorder the original here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA celebration print is released so that a painting can be lived with by more than one person. This one came early, while the original is still at the gallery, because so many people asked for it. As more people acquire a celebration print over the years the standing of the original grows, which is the point of them, and it is also how the work is seen again: when Martin holds a retrospective it is the larger celebration print that hangs on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Martin Osner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelebration print, numbered on the print before it is released\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival pigment print on fine art paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe signature is the artist's own, as painted on the original.
