“Eternity Shield”
“The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts and I am helped.”
Psalm 28:7
This is the verse that inspires me so much on this piece. So the cross is made up of four shields and encircled by the eternity circle of protection. This represents the protection that Lord has promises us. The shield is done in orange, golden, and green colors and again accented by 23k gold.

The halo is beautiful with shades of a light burnt orange tones with 23kt gold that line spins within it and makes arch shapes.
Focus your eyes on the center of this painting and you’ll see the “Irish Butterfly”.
Angel baby sits upon her Irish throne of blueish green knotwork and of course on her lovely purple pillow to support her precious feet.
Look closely and you will see the celtic sea turtles pointing to the four corners of the earth.
