Where to begin..this oil painting was created in spring thru summer 2013. At the time of this painting I became spiritually connected to the book of revelation. I was so involved with the words and meanings that I literally started to dream about the gates to heaven. Of course my painting doesn’t even compare to the beauty and brightness of heaven nor my dream.
In my dream I saw a yellow gold passageway leading to two large white gates made out of wrought iron or sturdy material. I saw more than one gate, two other gates on each side almost like east and west. The gates where heavy and tall in height. I was just standing there looking I felt so small. I dreamt of a man guarding the gate.. and brightness beyond the gate. He cracked the gate open and I was awaken. On memory I wrote my dream in my journal and sketched it. Through prayer and spiritual guidance from the holy spirit I started to paint. I kept adding bits and pieces from the book of revelation 11:15. Which mentions the 7th angel blowing the trumpet. A sign that the Lord has taken over the kingdom of the world. In my painting the male angel on the left is guarding the gate to heaven. To the right a female angel is blowing the 7th trumpet. If you look closely in my painting hiding among the midst of the flowers are angels and trumpets.
