9" x 12" mixed media painting on canvas
Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Evangeline"
Does anyone believe in angels? Not really sure but I think I do. You sometimes hear people say that there's someone watching over you and I'd really never thought about it until a few years ago. I had two circumstances in my life that were potentially devastating. When the first one went down there didn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel. In my dreams one night, a young man touched my shoulder and told me everything was going to be alright. It was so vivid to me. I woke up with a feeling that a weight had been lifted and eventually things turned out amazingly well.
The second time this happened was about five years later. This young man with dark curly hair came to me once more. He looked at me and smiled and delivered the same message as before. Right then it occurred to me that this man was my brother. My brother had died when he was three and I was a year old. I never knew him but I'll tell you flat out that I knew this angel was Daniel..... I felt it so deep inside. I'd never dreamt of him before and have not seen him since. He was here to give me a message...... he was my angel.
This painting was a commission piece for a woman that lost her mother. She wanted an angel. I hope she likes it because I know this painting is definitely out there....lol!
