Picture painted from my mother

She used to paint this kind of art. Ikonen. This is one she gave me on my last visit. It's blessed from the ortodox church. Funny enough cause she is evangelic .

Right now she is ill. Not able to do this kind of things any more. But she already left a lot of this kind of art on earth.

The painting is Archangel Gabriel.

Lovely Painting

Dear Andrachin I today discovered the "unanswered posts" list and see it's a treasure for writers. You mother's painting is a treasure too, very artful and I think I want a painting like that. Question what is the Archangel holding in his hand, a gazing crystal? God send healing to your Mother, she is gifted.

Dear Adrachin,
did your mother really paint this icon? She has a beautiful, beautiful gift. I've always been fascinated by the orthodox icons, there's something sacred and holy in them.
Do you have more examples of your mother's paintings?
Love

Dear Margret,

I searched around what this is, what Archangel Gabriel is holding in his hand. But could not find a answer. For sure it is not a crystal but some ball with ortodox characters. While reading certain articles about Gabriel I got the impression that this is Gods word and will which he is holding in his hand. But it was not mentioned explizitly anywhere.

And yes, Paula, my mother did that. It's using a special kind of colors and the golden things are gold leafs. There are more samples but I need to ask my father to send them to me. The one from Gabriel is quit a small one. She did others which are really big. She did one for the church in the town I grow up at least from 10 to 20 when I left home. That one has three parts and is over the altar. You surely know this kind of art. It's very common in churches.

Now she got Alzheimer's disease and her hands are shivering so she can not do that any more. I guess she still will have some years here to be but if she finally takes of I am sure one of the archangels she painted will pick her up and guid her.

Much Love and Light

Mother's painting

I believe that Archangel can just as easily heal her, and then we are all healed. If you take pixtures of the icons, I imagine there would be a market for them. I like to take such pictures and decoupage them onto wood or canvas.
