And the angels sang

Title: And the angels sang
300# Arches WC

When I was painting the dark sky in, I began at the lightest area and worked outward.  Mixing the paint and applying it with my brush, an angel mysteriously appeared at the brightest point near the bottom left side of the star.  This was not planned and was one of those happy accidents we, as artists get from time to time.  The song " Glory to God in the Highest"  came to mind at that moment and I wanted to give the angel a few more celestial bodies around it to join in their singing.

Light a candle in the window, toss the tinsel on the tree, go to church on Christmas morning and sing this song for me.
