The large white structure dominates the upper left hand side of the painting, dwarfing the tiny angel, who, nevertheless, still glows with divine light. The youth no longer notices the reality of the angel, seeing only his dreams.

Wow. I'm not leaving my guardian Angel on the shore, that's for sure. I'm glad he is still surrounded by the angels that make up the boat. We are never truly alone -- even when we feel most lonely.
ReplyDeleteI think most of us do metaphorically leave our angels on the shore during our teen years and into young adulthood. They are still there, guarding us, but very often, we stop listening to them.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, Dymphna, I quit listening to my angel for many years. How young and stupid I was trying to get through life on my own and trying to achieve my own "castles in the sky" without God. Now I wouldn't dream of ignoring my angel, but as the old saying goes, "We grow too soon old and too late smart." Better late than never, though. I'm looking forward to the next paintings in this series. Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteMay we always listen to our angels!
