Cherubim
‘The cherubim are winged creatures, but the form of them does not resemble that of any living creature seen by man’ (Josephus).
They signify presence of divinity and are guardians of the sacred and of the threshold.
As tetramorphs cherubim are the quaternary of elemental powers guarding the centre of Paradise which is inaccessible to the unregenerate man.
They combine the bull (Taurus), lion (Leo), eagle (Scorpio), and man (Aquarius), symbolizing the four elements, the four corners of the earth and, in Christianity, the four Evangelists.
After the Seraphim they are the highest of the nine orders of angels.
In heraldry a cherub is depicted as a child’s head (purity and innocence) between a pair of wings (spiritual nature).
Yahweh is 'enthroned’ upon the cherbuim’ (I Sam. 4,4).
The throne of the Temple of Jerusalem in the Holy of Holies was flanked by two cherubim and the throne was formed by their wings.

Just finished scanning this piece in (titled ‘No More I Love You’s’) and adding the missing details! Sorry for posting the same piece again but it looks so much better now I kind of hate adding the borders and watermarks but I don’t want to have my work stolen and re-uploaded which already happens a lot with photos of my face, other accounts getting 4K likes for my pics when I struggle for 50 sometimes lol #drawing #sketch #doodle #art #artist #wip #cherub #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artoftheday #artofvisuals #primsacolor #pencil #paint #work #portrait #girl #stylized #style #cute #illustration #angel #light #dark #diversity #workofart #painting

“There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.” - Edgar Allan Poe
And that, my darling,
is the poetry of physics,
the poetry of you.
“And the mountains may rise and fall, and the sun might wither away, and the sea may claim the land and swallow the sky. But you will always be mine. And the stars might fall from the heavens, and night might cloak the earth, but until darkness dies, I will always be yours.”
— Rhapsodic, The Bargainer Series
