Angel of Victory

Angel of Victory

18" x 36" acrylic on canvas

$650

The references for this angel painting came from some of my photographs taken in Richmond, VA, in the Hollywood Cemetery. One of my favorite things about the old statues is the absolute serenity so often masterfully carved into their stances and facial expressions.  When I was younger I did a lot of stone carving, so I'm especially impressed with these artisans of days past.  The actual statue portrays a younger angel, more like a girl really.  This painting is intended to express the successful warrior angel whose task has been completed and the loved one safely removed from all of life's peril and suffering to heaven's realm of peace and joy.

A praise song from my early days of walking with Christ proclaims:

In the Name of Jesus, in the Name of Jesus,

We have the victory.

In the Name of Jesus, in the Name of Jesus,

Demons will have to flee.

In the Name of Jesus, Jesus, we have the victory!

Psalm 34:7

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.

1 Corinthians 15:54-56 (NIV)

When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true:  "Death has been swallowed up in victory."

"Where, O death, is your victory?

Where, O death, is your sting?"

May you have victory in this life and know rescue from every kind of harm and evil by your Savior, Jesus Christ!
