Here’s an attempt to
talk about the meaning behind this picture, which is called 'Adoramus Te'.
The composition is quite simple. An angel and a butterfly in
a landscape.
As usual this falls within my usual Landscape of Dreams and
I generally paint the things that feel right at the time without thinking too
much about why they feel right.
This painting was done in 2012 and I’ve had time to think
about it since.
This picture is about the relationship between the Divine
and creation:
‘Adoramus Te ‘means’ We worship you’ in Latin.
Angels are creations of God made specifically to worship
God.
In this picture the angel is worshipping the butterfly, which
is either a creation of God, or a product of nature ( depending on your point of
view).
The Divine can be found in the smallest and most delicate of
creatures.
Until next time
Adieu
