"The Apple 4" by Anne Reid Artist is a striking fine art print from The Israel Series. The composition borrows from the structure of the Helix Nebula, colloquially called the Eye of God, with its blue and indigo core encircled by radiant orange, green, and violet hues. At its center, the six-pointed Star of David floats as a silent witness—emblematic of God's enduring covenant with Israel.
Created in Reid’s signature abstract expressionist and colorist style, the piece invites meditation on prophecy, time, and the convergence of Heaven and Earth. The blue core evokes both iris and ocean, drawing the viewer into a space that feels alive, observant, and aware. It is not only seeing—but seen. Layers of spattered pigment imitate a star field, reinforcing the celestial connection and positioning this artwork in conversation with unseen realms.
This piece links visually and thematically with Herald, which introduces a trumpet-blowing angel, and Herald 117, a digital fusion of "The Apple" and "Herald" that symbolizes the bridge between Canada and Israel. The intentional centering of Israel through the Star of David anchors the work in biblical promise, while its form—an eye—asks the viewer to consider divine surveillance, spiritual inheritance, and their own role as witness.

Design Tips:
Best suited for spaces that value spiritual depth and visual impact. Use in rooms with warm-toned accent walls, or frame in minimalist black for modern contrast. Ideal for study areas, meditation rooms, or hospitality lobbies seeking a sense of divine mystery.
