Artist's comment: "I put footprints at the bottom of the painting signifying Adam and Eve leaving the Garden of Eden. A strong angel (a cherubim) is blocking the entrance back to the garden with a flaming sword. Flashing back and forth, the sword is independent of the angel providing a double line of defense to insure that they will not be able to turn back. In making the background look like the paradise it was, I put foliage, birds and flowers to show the beauty it must have been. I began to put waterfalls in the background, which I felt inspired to come from the eyes of God to make the more poignant statement of the piece – that every time we choose to sin there are two who get hurt - the heart of God and us. If you take another look at the sword, you will see it is in the shape of a cross. After all, Jesus paved a way back in to the garden!"
