The Angel of Mercy from GuidoVermeulen

I am so glad to have one of Guido's pieces in my own hands. My poor photo doesn't do justice to his work, but his technique has much more contrast and intricacies than I ever imagined. The thing about angels is you never know what image or form they will transpire in one's life. I have a special affinity for those forms of essence that can only be defined in art or in language, but which have no corporeal form to define them: "mercy," "grace," "peace," "love," for example. I am blessed to receive your version of mercy, Guido. Thank you for this gift. I also LOVE your self portrait!!!!
