Christmas Angels

Lorna Byrne has been seeing angels since she was an infant.  According to Lorna, millions of angels come into the world around Christmas time, and each angel drops a ball of light onto a dwelling, whether it be a house, apartment, or cardboard box.  The lights fill the homes and the people in them with love and joy.

To get more information on the inspiration for my Christmas Angels painting, please go to this YouTube video by clicking on the following title:


"The gates of heaven are a little more open at Christmas"


The Christmas Angels painting is #10 in my "Angels Series."

Creek with Duck

Picture
"Creek with Duck" - (Plein Air Paintout, 8/31/17) - I love this painting, but it feels like something’s missing…like an angel...but the ducks and frog reminded me there are always blessings everywhere we look.
Picture
After I finished my last brushstroke, a duck walked up to my painting and rested her beak on it!

As soon as my painting was done, a frog hopped onto my wet palette.
