"H" is for Heavenly - #A to Z Blogging Challenge 2017

"H" is for Heavenly in the 2017 A to Z Blogging Challenge. The little 4" x 6" Spirit Visions watercolor painting seems perfect to me for a Heavenly Vision. This image holds so much information placed in so little space. It is worthy of a much larger scale that I plan to contemplate creating. The phthalo turquoise in this painting is one of my favorite colors. I consider it truly heavenly.

Heavenly

Heavenly colors spread across the sky.
Pale shades slide over slick papers
And unexpected images appear.
Apparitions cry out from the magic.

A glimmer of spirit vision floats by.
Papers flutter and turn.
Thunder rumbles and cracks.
And a stately angel takes wing.

A God-like image transforms,
And a friendship angel is born
To hear the beat of my heart
And the fear lying unstable there.

Morning thunder dredges bright reflections
That only my spirit can see.
Beauty is a passing flame
That vanishes in heavenly light.

That is Heavenly. The shape in the left corner looks like a man lifting his hand in praise.

The figure just appeared, Diane, and made this the perfect piece for "heavenly". Thank you for noticing.

Heavenly and beauty--so much to ponder, Hilary.

I love that colour too! It's so pretty to use and looks good with all colours. I see the angel and the colours one can see in the skies at times.
