Acylic on paper, 16" x 20"

"And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear."

I like the perspective on this.

Additionally, this reminds me of your "Opening the Tomb" [link] painting (similar perspective, shadowing, and of course, the central character being that of an angel of the Lord).

Well done, Douglas.

Well this one was intended to mirror “Wise Men from the East” in its composition but I don’t think it really works since the angel and the shepherds are so much larger than the magi and the star. I’ve gotten some positive reaction to it but I still want to revisit this scene and give the angel a more central position some day. Thanks very much.

I always try to depict angels as impressive and somewhat frightening while still holy in appearance. After all, there HAD to be a reason that they nearly always said "Do not be afraid" when they met people at first.
