"But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord." (Luke 2:10 and 11 NIV). I guess listening to Christmas music put me in the mood to share this particular piece today. This little painting is an abstract and symbolic depiction of the angel Gabriel at his announcement of the impending birth of Christ the Lord! The color palette is gold, crimson, ivory, brown and sage green. The composition is angular and geometric in nature, while still maintaining a representational, traditional feeling.
