And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Shadows are off. That light source should be illuminating his Face as much as it is his Torso. The Arm Shadow should be level with, or a bit below, the Arm, not above it.
picky, picky, picky. can't see the forest for the trees type comment, IMHO. Ruins the entire impact of the painting to look at it in such a critical way.
my Guardian angels sleep with me every night. my dogs are angles without wings as promised in the bible. “Angels around us, angels beside us, angels within us, angels within us. Angels are watching over you when times are good or stressed. Their wings wrap gently around you, whispering you are loved.” “Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my Heavenly Father.” -Matthew 18:10
That painting is by Ron DiCianni. And I think someone should check their Scriptures again about wings. Cherubim with WINGS cover the ark of the covenant.
Beautiful!

I don't know why angels are always pictured with wings. Nothing in scriptures about them having wings.
ReplyDeleteMust have something to do with Flash Gordon.

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure my Guardian Angel drinks on duty.
