Don Eddy, Cardinal Virtues Panel (Faith), 1995-96
Oil on Panel, 63 x 18 in. (160 x 45.7 cm)
Don Eddy's image of three entwined poppies placed in the ruins of a house of Faith arises from his conceit that faith flowers in the ruins of current expectations, and it grows out of that which we find most dependable. The arches are suggestive of windows into the soul. The poppy is, itself, a symbol of consolation, and the three flowers represent the triad of virtues.
