Elizabeth Mother of John the Baptist


This painting is of a pregnant Elizabeth.  Mother of John the Baptist. Elizabeth thought she was barren and has John when she is elderly.  The Angels in the back ground watch over her while playing with their children.  Elizabeth feels the security of the watchful angels and senses their presents.  The fountain represent John and the Baptisms he performed.  I wanted to show the happiness and fertility of a long awaited birth.
