For Tami Jo...and other Angel Friends

"Angels and Sisters"
16x20 Oil on Canvas



 “…..What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? ….these are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.   Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.   They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more….For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”                                                  
                                                                    -Revelations 7:13-17




This painting was born from a conversation with my friend, Tami.  We talked of angels, and blessings, and gathering storms that swarm around us....and in the end we decided that although an angelic visit is, of course, one of the ways that Heaven comes to help us through the storms of life, it might be more common than not that WE end up being the angels to help each other. This painting is dedicated to all my angel sisters who have helped me brave my storms, given the perfect example of lifting with love, and powerfully pointed to my Savior Jesus Christ.
