Angels Ascending in Sunset Candlelight in along a monastery corridor in Albuquerque

Angels Ascending in Sunset Candlelight

by Phyllis Tyson

Golden candlelight washes the vaulted ceiling of a New Mexico monastery, illuminating a fresco where painted angels rise toward swirling clouds. Deep ochre and sienna tones of the adobe walls absorb the warm glow, while cool autumn shadows stretch along the corridor's length. The symmetrical arches frame the celestial figures in perfect balance, their robes rendered in soft blues and whites that contrast with the earthy plaster. Dust motes float in the beams of light, highlighting the texture of the aged paint. The perspective pulls attention upward, following the upward curve of the dome where the painted sky meets the physical structure. A final shadow falls across the lower corner, at the base of the ethereal ascent in the quiet stone.
