“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”

She is having a dream of life being so wonderful with this enchanting dragonfly and how good life would be flying around with him.
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.
The inspiration for this piece came from the carpet pages from the “Book of Kells”.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts and I am helped.” Psalm 28:7
A wonderful cross with Celtic knots throughout and the symbol in the center tells the story.
Focus your eyes on the center of this painting and you’ll see the “Irish Butterfly”.
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.
