Description
We love angels, those benevolent celestial beings who have been reported to companion human beings since ancient times. Often they are described as winged, human-like forms with glowing light around their heads and body forms. These beloved spirits of legend, myth and religious belief have acted as intermediaries between the Celestial realms and the middle world of Earth though the ages. They have played the role of messenger, guardians, guides and protectors and instruments of God.
Ancient Greek is the origin of the word angel, meaning to announce, as to bring a message or news. References to angels and various interpretations of their roles occurs in most Sacred traditions, i.e. Judaism, the ancient Persian Zoroastrianism, Christianity, The Church of the latter Day Saints, Islam, the Baha’i Faith, and Theosophy to name a few.
Gardens are lovely planned, mostly outdoor, spaces devoted to a particular form and function. Botanical gardens are mostly for the cultivation, display and enjoyment of plants that may be ornamental and or food crops. Examples include vegetable gardens and rose and butterfly flower gardens. Some garden follow a formal design like a xeriscape Zen garden or a formal English garden with mazes, statuary and water fountains. Natural gardens tend to be somewhat less defined.
Gardens often contain constructed elements such as ponds or other water features, sometimes with fish, arbors, trellises, gazebos, and works of art, paths, decks and lighting. All elements are designed to support the plants and to create aesthetic interest and delight for the senses. Gardens provide a means to co-create with nature, and a place to observe the change of the seasons and bird and animals in the natural world.

Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and gift for the earth, hence the name of my art business, For the Earth. My mother painted in oils when I was young and encouraged my own drawing, painting and handcrafting in all forms. My father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result of these loving influences, I am a lifelong student of both mediums. I am grateful to my wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson, for training my eye and technique. I hope you will enjoy this image as much as I enjoyed its creation.
