Angel Painting Abstract Large

I have a show coming up. I am painting some angels inspired by a series I painting

on fabric for my Church last Christmas. Of course, angels are everywhere in the Bible, 

and not  just associated with Christmas. Good News. This one is

16" x 20" and is on the devinepaintings.etsy.com site

Angel in Blue Oil Painting

There is a beautiful song by Mari Voll Tesdal called Virgin Mary. She talked about the

"Pretty Little Baby" and that's how I came to name this 12" square painting. I gave the DevinePaintings

treatment to one of my favorite vintage prints by Charles Chambers. Painting has the

Baby with halo and impressionist style roses and lots of rich and colorful color. There is

alot of symbolism with this painting, the Doves are in the bottom, roses representing the

Virgin Mary. "Lights" are the stars that appear in the dark areas.

Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, Our Lady of Guadalupe

When Juan Diego had a vision on a hill in Mexico, he asked for a sign to prove it. When he came back to the mountain, it was covered in Castillian roses, in winter, roses which do not normally grow in the Tepeyac desert, near Mexico City. The lady in the vision asked him to build a church where they stood on the hill. So this little painting is also covered in roses and is a whimsical version of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It is painted on gallery wrapped canvas and the sides have been painted black. I usually sell these larger and without so much detail, this is a new design and I hope you like it. There is a cross under the banner which reads, "Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe" in Spanish, which means Our Lady of Guadalupe. There are so many interesting things about Our Lady of Guadalupe, just Google her name and you will see.
