Five Solas

This set of two prints was commissioned by Redeemer Presbyterian Church in  McKinney, Texas. They were significantly larger than 10x20, were printed on canvas, were mounted on stretcher bars, and were hung on either side of a doorway in the church. I counted it a privilege to letter these Scriptural truths for them.
