Kathi Nordone
Miracle on 26th & 6th. Ave
ANGEL OF FORGIVENESS Story
Inspired by the innocence of this "Angel Musician" postcard, (original Uffizi Florence, Italy)
Kathi creates a painting of it, changing the Lute into an electric blue guitar.
The following day she leaves the blue painting (see below) behind, carrying the postcard (above) in her suitcase. While traveling across the country, hoping to find home base, sing her songs and sell her hand sketched cards, she rested her eyes on the the angel musician post card as it reminded her of beauty and the curiosity of innocence. Love, yes, maybe love. She found herself in need of a bed and reached out to find her father. A man, who lost his beautiful family and the home he built by hand. She calls. He answers. "I'll buy you a cuppa coffee he says, I have something for you, You're gonna love it!" I've been saving it, in case, I ever saw you again. Meet me tomorrow Sunday, on 26th & 6th Ave. where I sell antiques at Chelsea Street Market.
Somehow, she made her way there ~ she sees her father working, moving antiques, rearranging. They meet, he hands her a large dark hefty bag................
and there within her arms was the ANGEL
the Angel with the lute
only it was Antique Gold and Bigger too
her Angel of Forgiveness her Angel of Truth
My first card sketch from Dads print 1986
In 1986, 6 years earlier, I found this Angel Print in a dark closet, awed by the innocence I felt, I asked my sister where it came from, she said, "Dad gave it to me" you can have it. She gave it to me. I stayed up into the night drawing this pencil sketch. After printing it I realized my art brought hope to people and those people who bought my card - gave me hope. I asked my father for more Angels that's all, he declined then said o.k.
My loving sister, gave this print to me, from her generous heart, a gift from my father to her.
