Original Painting – Guardian of the Tree of Life 3

Description

God “placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.” Cherubim have been depicted as everything from four-faced animals to small, winged boys. Here I show them as mothers: wise, unflinching warriors, defending the value of families through their roles at birth and through their lifelong nurturing.
