Earth Angel

Victor Bregeda's painting Earth Angel depicts an angel built into the earth with houses perched on her shoulders and back. Her hair and wings enclose the dwellings protectively. Above her is the Sky Angel with several smaller angels hovering like birds. In the foreground, very small, you can see Victor painting at his easel.

Here Victor portrays the concept (also seen in his painting 'Heaven') that the kingdom of god is all around us, and our guardian angels are never further from us than the earth beneath our feet.

"Look! Look!" I cried, "God's shadow! It's everywhere. It's all around them! Why, why don't they see it?"

"Because it has no edges," said the Angel.
