Description A place to rest ..... is the story of a little cherub that got a little bit tired of flying. He decided to take a nap on an egg. It made him think of a save womb. So far so good Only thing is ..... he slept a little bit too long. So long that he's almost connected to the egg. And now his little wings are starting to fade and getting of his back. If the wind blows a little bit too hard he will lose his wings.

The end of the story? I heard that he got a set of new wings from someone who is able to make those things (?). Ha, ha, don't ask me further who that person is

My mom loves this artwork. She saw it in an early stage and had a good laugh.

The landscape and sky are created with the use of brushes only. Some textures where used to enhance the contrast.

Only fave this artwork when you really like it. Thank you

Such a beautiful, inspiring picture. It looks both realistic and dreamlike at the same time. While the dark sky and field are right before our eyes, it somehow seems like the semi-transparent egg and the cute little cherub are only the play of our imagination. Very interesting effect. And I just love the story behind this beautiful picture.
As always, you never cease to amaze us John.

Hmmm... in my imagination the egg hatches, and out comes a benevolent being who just happens to have the perfect set of wings for your little cherub… This is so beautiful, dreamy and gentle with a touch of quirkiness…
