Golda Koosh paints big. Most of her original Judaica paintings measure 90×120 cm or more, and several reach 120×170 cm. That gives them real presence in a room, but it means the first question for a buyer is a practical one: which size fits your wall? This guide groups her original acrylic paintings by size so you can match a painting to the space you have.
Smaller and square works (60×50 to 100×100 cm)
For a hallway, a study or a wall between two windows, start with the smaller and square canvases.
- In the Stillness of Prayer’s Glow (60×50 cm | 24×20 in) is the most compact work in the collection: a synagogue in soft grey-blue tones touched with gold, with figures in tallit facing the sacred text.
- The Quiet Synagogue (100×100 cm | 39×39 in) shows a modest synagogue where light pours through the windows. A square format like this suits a wall that is as tall as it is wide.
- Red Petals, Timeless Spirit (100×100 cm) paints the calanit, Israel’s red winter flower. In Golda’s words: “I see this flower every winter and it always brings a smile to my face.”
Classic living room size (80×100 to 100×120 cm)
This is the most common size range in the collection and the easiest to place above a sofa, a sideboard or a dining table.
- Shabbat Table (80×100 cm | 31×39 in): challah and a kiddush glass in the light of two candles. Golda describes “a deep sense of peace and anticipation” when Shabbat has arrived. It is a natural choice for a dining room.
- Lighting the Shabbat Candles (120×100 cm | 47×39 in): a young woman in quiet reflection at the candles, a painting about the women who carry the blessing from generation to generation.
- Noah’s Ark (100×120 cm | 39×47 in): a bold, vivid retelling of the flood, with the Ark at the center of swirling waters.
Panoramic paintings (70×130 to 90×180 cm)
Long, low walls above a sofa, a bed or a long console need a panoramic canvas. Golda uses this format for scenes with a crowd or a wide horizon.
- The People of Israel at the Kotel (70×130 cm | 28×51 in): the plaza before the Kotel filled with men and women, children and elders, “a living, breathing tapestry of devotion”.
- Dawn Over Ancient Jerusalem (90×180 cm | 35×71 in): Jerusalem in its earliest days, the Beit HaMikdash at the center under a sky of purple, orange and pink.
- The Journey Home (90×180 cm): a painting about aliyah and the parting of the sea. Golda writes: “I grew up in Russia, under the shadow of Soviet rule… For me, I choose to believe.”
Statement pieces (120×170 cm)
For a large living room, an entrance hall, an office lobby or a synagogue, the largest canvases hold the wall on their own.
- Jerusalem Awakens (120×170 cm | 47×67 in): the Kotel at dawn, when the sky turns pink and blue and “the ancient stones seem to breathe with the colors of heaven”.
- Sacred Journey – The Path to Beit Knesset (120×170 cm): people wrapped in tallitot walking toward the warm glow of the synagogue on a cold Shabbat morning, painted from Golda’s childhood memory.
Three quick rules for choosing a size
- Above furniture, aim for a painting about two-thirds the width of the piece below it.
- Choose the shape before the subject. Square canvases suit narrow or tall walls; panoramic ones suit long, low walls.
- Give large paintings space. A 120×170 cm canvas needs a wall where you can step back and see it whole.
Ask about a painting or a custom size
You can browse every painting in the collections. If you need a different size or a subject that matters to your family, Golda also takes commissions. To ask about a specific painting, send a message through the contact page with the painting name and the width of your wall.
