Happy Easter ~ Trumpet of the Lord

22x15 watercolor on Italia acquerello 140 lb cold press paper. The angel was actually cemetery statuary so I removed its base and portrayed the figure as if floating in clouds.  Hope everyone has a happy Easter Sunday! The title is taken from first verse of the hymn When the Roll is Called up Yonder.

Trumpet of the Lord

22x15 watercolor on Italia acquerello 140 lb cold press paper, done yesterday for a challenge on www.WetCanvas.com The angel was actually cemetary statuary so I removed its base and portrayed her as if floating in clouds with her horn calling the saints on in.

The hymn "When the Roll is Called up Yonder" came to mind and the verse "When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more, and the morning breaks eternal bright and fair..."
