White Angel in Snow

I remember reading somewhere that depicting angels with wings actually comes from G Hellenic Paganism. Pagan theologies had angels too, just like the Old & New Testament and the Koran. This angel plays a lyre and readers with a good memory might recall this blog about her. Saw the angel from a different angle this time in the snow and I was struck by the white on white, the similarities in tones caused a de facto shimmering, quite appropriate for these heavenly creatures prone to visit our material world from time to time.
