The angel weeps over the loss of its human charge as light from heaven reaches into a dark place. I seek to portray the sorrow that God feels when a human soul that He created and loves chooses to reject him and dies an eternal death. The cold hues of the work emphasize the loss. Though the angel in this painting is mourning, Luke 15:10 tells us “there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
