“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.
I just love hearts and all shapes really including the beautiful gold diamond in the middle!
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.
Look closely and you will see the celtic sea turtles pointing to the four corners of the earth.
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.
A beautiful piece inspired by the work of the ancient manuscripts. The letter is inlayed with 23k gold and has spirals and knots throughout.
A wonderful cross with Celtic knots throughout and the symbol in the center tells the story.
