Watchman 2 is a contemplative fine art print that captures the essence of stillness, observation, and spiritual guardianship. Anne Reid Artist employs an abstract expressionist approach, layering soft, fluid brushstrokes to create an atmosphere that feels both luminous and weightless. A solitary figure, rendered in deep blue, stands in the foreground, gazing into a mist-like swirl of motion and light. The muted tones of grey, white, and yellow create a dreamlike landscape, evoking the liminal space between the physical and the spiritual.
The composition draws on biblical and prophetic themes, referencing the watchman as a guardian or intercessor—one who observes, warns, and remains attuned to the unseen. The blurred forms suggest both movement and mystery, reinforcing the idea that not everything is fully revealed, yet the presence of the watchman signifies attentiveness and purpose. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth, making the figure appear as though emerging from a veil of time or stepping into an eternal space of revelation.
Anne Reid Artist’s ability to merge abstraction with deep spiritual symbolism makes Watchman 2 a powerful addition to sacred spaces, prayer rooms, or collections that explore themes of faith, perception, and divine calling. The subtle energy within the piece invites personal interpretation—offering a moment of pause, reflection, and inner stillness.
This fine art print is ideal for those who resonate with spiritual introspection and the role of the watchman as both observer and messenger. Its fluid textures and shifting light create an evocative presence, making it a meaningful centrepiece for quiet contemplation.
Renewal of Ezekiel’s Call as Watchman
33 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’
7 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for[a] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.
10 “Son of man, say to the Israelites, ‘This is what you are saying: “Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of[b] them. How then can we live?”’ 11 Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’
