Lonely winter years
Arrive in the arms of pain
Rest: a quiet place
By the fireplace
Frozen thoughts discarding frost
Breathe in love afresh
Angelic wings rest
Motionless on peaceful nights
Pray unendingly
Angels appear
Do not be afraid
Shining light in the dark
Do not be afraid
Offering comfort and love
Do not be afraid
Let angels walk on earth
Healing all that's broken
Catching onto hope
Desperate for that token
Dirt tracks in the sand
Explored with new abandon
Sensations freshly sculpted
Such amazing freedom
There were shepherds taking care of their flocks at night. An angel appeared to them and told them not to be afraid as he brought good news, “This very day in David's town your saviour was born – Christ the Lord!” They would find the baby wrapped in cloth, lying in a manger. (Luke 2:8-20)
"Angel Wings" - a painting inspired in prayer by the movement of God - now given to a friend.
Light in the darkness
Comfort during anxious times
Angelic visions
This was created as I was processing my feelings around my Covid hospital experiences.
One of the "things" that I kept drawing is this shape of light. It is something which keeps coming to mind as I remember the CT scans. I'm terrified of small spaces and have no idea how I coped with the CT scans I had, but this light was a constant presence of peace in my minds eye. Each time I felt anxious I would close my eyes and see this and then the scan was over. An angel was with me.
This painting is that moment in time when heaven opens and God welcomes someone home.
I don't know what you see, but the very bright crosses in the centre are doves and angels, but perhaps no one else can see that.
I painted this last week
I didn't expect it to become this
I was practicing drawing people
I accidentally unticked the layer with the detail of the person standing up
I knew it was meant to be an empty space
Or an ethereal form
Or God
Or an angel
Or, or, or, or....
There are so many different ways this painting speaks to me. Some of these are with me as the girl; some are with R as the girl. All of these are positive, full of love and comfort.
The Greenbelt Angel
Angel wings shimmer
Reflecting refulgent light
Peacefulness descends
Fractals explode lies
Releasing truths of conflict
Forgiveness heals
Pensive people peek
Nervously exploring life
Might war be ending?
Negotiators
Seek selenite solutions
Proposals for peace
(Created during the Israel Gaza war)
