Brother Angel
Brother Angel
A gentle angel carries a small figure high above a crowd of mourners gathered beneath colorful umbrellas. Pages or letters drift through the air below, suggesting memories, words, and pieces of a life being left behind.
Brother Angel portrays death not as a frightening departure, but as a tender passage. The angel’s protective embrace and the words, “Take me gently Brother Angel / The time has come to journey home,” give the painting a feeling of acceptance and peace.
Sadness hangs over the crowd below, but above them the open blue sky and glowing sun suggest release, comfort, and the quiet hope that the end of one journey may be the beginning of another.
