Description
This painting is an attempt to illustrate the eternal interplay between order and chaos. I wanted to highlight Human Experience; wild, dramatic and beautiful, within the context of a universal structure - an all-encompassing orderliness, stone-hard and timeless.Related content

What a serene place. The canopy of leaves overhead and the flowers bursting with color provide a great contrast with the regal statues.

It looks like the angel is balancing in the middle of the surrounding statues... That truly is a remarkable, philosphical piece. Wonderful!

Love the pose, like she's walking on a tightrope or just a line in idle peace.

Greetings from South Africa! I'm very drawn to this artwork ... perhaps because I've recently created a labyrinth in my garden that boasts two Angel statues and I also have a water feature/pond containing Koi & Goldfish. You've done extremely well in achieving your goal ... there's a hushed, serenity to this painting that shuts out the chaotic world ... you've created a striking balance of stillness represented by the statues with movement in the background coming from the falling leaves of Autumn. You've captured a moment in time, forever framed in a secret garden. Beautiful & infinitely appealin.

Hi! Your lovely painting has been featured on my poetry blog here:[link]
The way the stone angel seems to enthrone the small universe of the garden is very eloquent. Dramatic and calm, wild and structured, momentary and eternal all at once.

you're simply amazing. after looking at every deviation of yours I'd say this one is my favorite one
the way you capture the lighting and the scenery is perfect, and it gives off such a warm, earthly vibe. the statues look like they're going to come to life any minute!

Very beautiful!
While you have a great sense of landscape and spaces in all your submissions, including this one, what really sold me on this piece was the great contrast in it.
It's done in the really dreamy style of oils; which, so often, is highly evocative, but lacking in detail.
That is not the case here.
While the emotion inherent to the style is still there (Especially in the Autumn leaves!) you still managed to pull off a great amount of detail though out. I guess I'm not practiced enough to say whether that takes skill or imagination, but you pulled off something really cool with your technique!
Also, I found the outer statues really interesting. The Roman masculine ideal (especially with warriors) rarely allows for the expression of suffering. It's fascinating to see the aesthetic inverted like that. (Yes, I know I'm making a bit of an assumption on the statues. That is the impression I got, though, so please forgive me.) And, this juxtaposes even further with the serene female in the center.
...I'm starting to sound a bit like one of those beard stroking pompous art scholars who just like to hear themselves talk; so, I think I'll just leave you with this.
Great piece; looking forward to more!
