looking down 50x80cm

Looking down and wondering what is the world coming to, why does everybody act so irrationally, what's with all the darkness... Are they going blind to the light?[A.R.]

"Angels when they come to earth, they leave their wings at the coat-check so they won't get noticed" [from a Harley Davidson commercial]

Good (as bad) is among us... There are no tricks or cheats to recognise it. Sometimes it is really obvious, other times it is impossible to track, no matter how hard you look! The point is to keep an open mind and to try to postpone judging as long as possible (since it is hard to change the initial judgment one made about somebody). Good is not in your heart and neither in your mind!! Good is a state of being (!), yet the expression of it varies, depending on environmental (including social) factors!

Don't look for the Good, just try to feel it with all that is you.[I.R.S.]

An angel painted with love and devotion, I tried to capture mainly the serenity it represents.[A.R.]

Women are wonderful creatures, they can be sexy and voluptuous, but that is by far not their best trait. What makes women look like angels is their sweetness, at the times they decide to let it surface. The sweet mother, the sweet wife, the sweet lover or the sweet daughter become in the eyes of the observer angel - figures; a little piece of heaven. Alas, nothing lasts for ever though... so cherish it... [I.R.S.]

All through the night I'll be watching over you

and all through the night I'll be standing over you

and through bad dreams I'll be right there baby holding your hand,

telling you everything's going to be alright.

When you cry I'll be there baby telling you were never nothing less than beautiful.

So don't you worry I'm your angel standing by [Jewel, Angel standing by]

Angel wings bring in mind the convergence of everything pure, beautiful and lovely, we imagine them on people we love and we are being loved by; they depict the hope we yearn for always, now and everyday; they are shiny beacons leading our lives. Yet, they get tainted, sometimes by our actions and even worse by our failure, inability or unwillingness to act when most needed. [I.R.S.]

If you're leaving close the door.

I'm not expecting people anymore. 

Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor.

Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.

[Deep Purple, When a blind man cries]

Sweet child in time you'll see the line 

The line that's drawn between, good and the bad 

See the blind man shooting at the world 

Bullets flying, taking toll 

If you've been bad, lord I bet you have 

And you've not been hit by flying lead 

You'd better close your eyes 

Bow your head [Deep Purple, Child in time]
