About Annunciation
Annunciation depicts the archangel Gabriel on the day he visits the Virgin Mary to tell her she is to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Gabriel is painted in golden yellows the same colors used to paint the background of the painting. I painted Gabriel’s wings with thick globs of paint that outline the wings without obstructing the view of the angel and the pillar. These choices emphasize the etherealness and intangibility of angels. I painted Gabriel leaning on a pillar as a symbol of Mary Our Mother, Pillar of the Church.
Feast of the Annunciation: March 25

Choose Your Charity
10% of the proceeds from all Annunciation purchases are donated to one of these two charity organizations. Both of these causes are near Mary's heart, God's heart, and my heart. I chose these two charities because they are both reputable organizations that make meaningful change in our community, country, and world. Thank you for your support. God bless.
