The little girl in this painting is based on me as a child. She is still inside me, my inner child. The angel protecting me represents my son, Lazarus, who died as a baby. I wish I could've protected him for more than a few months. Through this painting, I imagine the strong feelings of love and protection that I have for my son directed back towards me and my inner child.
It is a personal painting, but I think it can apply universally. I believe that we all have protection and love from beings who may not be in our physical view.
