“Daniel”
One of most fascinating stories in the Bible…
Daniel 6:22, “My God sent his Angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions.” Daniel 6:23, “When Daniel was lifted from the lions den, no wound was found on him because he had trusted his God.” Daniel 6:27, “He rescues and he saves, he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and the earth. He rescued Daniel from the power of the lions”

His wreath you may have noticed resembles larva. Perhaps that’s because there is a butterfly in the middle of it.
The inspiration for this piece came from the carpet pages from the “Book of Kells”.
This painting gives the viewer the feeling of looking upward. As if looking upward through a lush forest or jungle and then seeing the light from above.
Focus your eyes on the center of this painting and you’ll see the “Irish Butterfly”.
