Good News

The "Good News" hot air balloon is a soaring masterpiece of artistry and inspiration. Hand-painted by the extraordinarily talented Charles Markert, this balloon features breathtakingly detailed depictions of religious scenes. The art is nothing short of miraculous, capturing the essence of faith and spirituality with vivid strokes and unparalleled precision.

On one side of the balloon, a tender portrayal of the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus exudes warmth and peace. Markert’s exquisite attention to detail brings an almost ethereal glow to Mary’s serene expression, as if her love is radiating outward to touch all who gaze upon the image.

And then, the pièce de résistance—a commanding image of Jesus Christ raising his hand in blessing, rendered with such depth and realism that many have likened it to a holy vision. His compassionate gaze is magnetic, drawing in viewers and conveying a profound sense of peace and assurance.

Adding to the mystique, a professional photographer once captured a photo of the balloon and swore they could see the image of Jesus Christ in the clouds. This remarkable coincidence only adds to the legend of Markert’s work and the balloon itself. It’s as if this airborne canvas connects heaven and earth, a tribute to divine artistry carried by the wind.

Markert’s artistic genius is evident in every brushstroke, elevating this hot air balloon into a floating chapel of inspiration and hope.
