~*~ Angel of Protection - Military Angel ~*~
I have been artistic all of my life. From the time I could hold a crayon or a pencil, I was creating 'art'.
I graduated high school in 1976. Through my high school years,
I took every single art class that I could take. The one thing, I totally despised drawing or creating art that involved a 'human figure'.
This image of an Angel wrapping her wings around a soldier was so powerful in my thoughts. I dismissed it because I was just NOT about drawing people. IT would not leave me... I started it on literally a scrap of paper. Then I put it aside for over a month and papers shuffled around on my desk and there it was again. It was then I completed the drawing.
In 2005, I started with a Marine family condolence group. Individuals would accept letters via email to be included in a personal condolence group for a Fallen soldier. When I looked at my drawing I thought...
It takes on a 'Welcome Home' look. From those days and going forward, I had shared it as both an Angel of Protection and a Welcome Home.
I have ALWAYS said.... please use this in ANY WAY that honors our US military.
