Open Edition Fine Art Print
I painted Land of the Rising Sun as a meditation on threshold and light — purple-robed figures standing at the edge of a blazing green field, their reflections held in the water below. The print edition is prepared directly from that original painting.
Available sizes: 12×12, 20×20, 24×24, 30×30 in. Available on paper, metal, canvas, and acrylic.
Original artwork: Land of the Rising Sun (2018), acrylic on paper mounted on panel board, 12×12 in. The original is a work-in-progress in the studio.
Land of the Rising Sun is an open edition fine art print from Anne Reid Artist's 2018 acrylic painting. Purple-robed figures stand at a blazing yellow-white light source set against a vivid green field, their forms reflected in water below — a composition of threshold, awakening, and forward movement rooted in the artist's prophetic engagement with the nation of Japan. Available on paper, metal, canvas, and acrylic in four square sizes.
The figures stand at the edge of a blazing light in a field of electric green — still, present, and on the threshold of something that has not yet resolved. The reflection below doubles the weight of the moment: what is above is also below, what is coming is already present in some form.
The painting is divided into two spaces. On the right is the darker area — the bamboo forest, tradition, memory, and the past. On the left is the movement toward the sun — new beginning, awakening, and a new era.

Land of the Rising Sun began as an abstract acrylic painting on paper, 12×12 in. It became the first painting in which Japan emerged as a theme in my work — though I did not set out to paint Japan at all.
My process often starts with free-flowing color, risk-taking, and loose marks. I was experimenting with green, a color I had wanted to use more boldly, and I discovered how demanding it can be. In nature, green is deeply variegated; painted as a single flat block, it loses all life. Working through those early layers took patience and a willingness to not yet know what the painting was.
As the composition developed, I scraped back through areas of paint, revealing earlier layers underneath. Red, yellow, and orange came through the surface, and the painting began to feel like sunrise. Figures emerged — Japanese-inspired, almost like women in traditional dress. The darker mass on the right read as a bamboo forest; the figures appeared to stand on a ledge or cliff, facing the light.
The title came naturally from what I was seeing: Japanese-inspired figures, a rising sun, a people at a threshold. I recognized Japan in the painting. That recognition mattered — it was not something I had planned or placed there.
After this painting, Japan continued to appear in my work. I later painted Japan, and a third Japan-related painting is still developing. I have also received prophetic words connected to Japan during this period. The theme does not arrive because I decide to pursue it; it surfaces through the figures, the atmosphere, and what I begin to recognize as the work takes shape.
This is part of why the painting matters to me. The subject was not premeditated — it emerged. And with that emergence came a sense of the Lord speaking about the nation of Japan: His heart for Japan, and Japan's destiny.
