I was looking for something to paint to hang in my new office. I have recently returned to secular business, as the manager at a large Logistics business, and wanted something colourful for the walls, but also something inspiring, without being "religious" about it.
While looking on the web for something to paint I came across this picture titled "Good Morning Lord" the only difference was that it was painted as an "Afro-American" angel... I felt I didnt identify with that so much, so decided to change it. I was'nt sure what to paint, but my daughter, Micah, loved this one and asked me to PLEASE paint it.
I am still not totally happy with the result, I wanted more gold to come out (the gold doesn't reflect enough to my liking) and also I get the feeling most people don't "get" the painting? Maybe they think it is some kind of new age image... Anyway for me it signifies the dawning of a new day, of joy in the morning, of the fact that I have Angels watching over me all the time...
Acrylic on blocked canvas 80x90cm (I get this size blocked canvas very reasonably, so it is my favourite!)
