Seeing Shepherds

1/7/2014

 
Picture





Seeing Shepherds
, oil on canvas, by Daniel Bonnell  (c) 2010.  Reproduced with permission.





I don't usually include discussions of paintings on this web site, but in this case I am happy to make an exception.  A
few days ago I saw this astounding painting by Daniel Bonnell, an artist whose work I only recently came to know and appreciate.

The picture is the subject of this week's short article "A Shepherd for a While" on the Strategic Understanding page.  The article represents a musing on the picture and its subject - the importance of which is not limited to a particular time of the year. 

Don't miss the  picture at larger size on the article page. It amazed  me and I think it will amaze you, too.

What a great picture! As the angelic host recedes into the black night sky, it reminds me of nebulae and other starscapes photographed by the Hubble telescope. Scripture says that at Creation, all the morning stars (angels) sang for joy - how fitting that in this picture, they should sing again, to announce the coming inbreaking of the New Creation!
