“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.

Angel baby sits upon her Irish throne of blueish green knotwork and of course on her lovely purple pillow to support her precious feet.
His wreath you may have noticed resembles larva. Perhaps that’s because there is a butterfly in the middle of it.
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.
