The protectors of religions, guardian angels of cities, nations, rulers. They keep watch over nations and attempt to inspire their leaders to make wise decisions. They are seen in human form. They provide strength to the tribes of Earth to pursue and endure their faith.
The "chief-angels", they carry God's messages to humans and command God's armies of angels in constant battle with the "Sons of Darkness". They look after the affairs of humankind and act as guardian angels to leaders of world movements. These are the Angels who stand around God's throne, ready to carry out the divine and most important decrees to humans.
Celestial beings closest to humans, Angels are the intermediaries between God and mortals. Assigned by God to every human being at the time of his or her birth, they assist every aspect of life in the universe. They deal with the aspects of everyday life and act as the direct gateway for information, knowledge and communications between human kind and the God force. These angels are seen with human bodies, wings and clothed in various garments depending on the traditions and visual acceptance of the human they have "been assigned to". In reality, Angels do not have human bodies, wings or clothing, they are made up of energy and love. The only thing Angels do not help humans do is destroy themselves, the planet and other human beings, they are always a force for all that is positive, good and true.

I wanted to portray an Archangel standing on the grounds of heaven. Like earth the grass is moist with the hint of a summer's night. In the distance. A celestial background of the universe shaped into a cave like appearance. The wings of the angel like nature. Calm, and with flow. A protector. Normal to the eye, yet a humble servant to it's creator.
