“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 halo is beautiful with shades of a light burnt orange tones with 23kt gold that line spins within it and makes arch shapes.
Wow, it got caught out in the rain and still it appears lovely with the beautiful shades of purple sprouting out and adoring the sky.
Focus your eyes on the center of this painting and you’ll see the “Irish Butterfly”.
A wonderful cross with Celtic knots throughout and the symbol in the center tells the story.
I had just finished reading one of those great books about Henry VIII England so I was really in the mood for knots and crowns.
