In this post I will show several of the paintings that began this series. The United Cerebral Palsy Center in Los Angeles was having a fundraiser in August 2013 and I was asked to donate a 6"x6" painting. This was just the inspiration I needed to begin my journey.

Then I painted this one, but remember that I destroyed it because I was feeling a insecure about the idea of painting angels. There have been a lot of questions like, what am I trying to say about them, what do I really feel about them, WHY am I painting them etc. That painting turned into
Guardian 3 somehow.

These paintings, as well as the next three paintings demonstrate a variety of style explored as I journey into this world of abstract painting. It starts to get exciting for me, because I start to realize why I am so driven to do this. While painting
Guardian 4, I recalled how St. Peter was weak (denying Jesus 3 times) until he received the Holy Spirit, and then went on to fearlessly spread the word of Jesus. It helps me to remember that I am, as St. Peter was, only human and can not do it alone. This is an example of powerful messages and thoughts I get while painting. Sometimes it is just the joy of painting.
