Weekly Oil Paintings

I painted this angel from a photo of sculpture. I am drawn most often to the lines and planes that carved images present. Of course, I take a few of my own liberties like the ball of light. The statue had lost its arms over time.

Both color and story drew me to this image. No doubt I will
This is a special commission for a new baby. It will be signed

So, so lovely. The draping is amazing. That’s how I picture a guardian angel.
Thank you very much, Sue. I am certain that angels totally escape our human renderings, but painted symbols can lift our souls to wonder about them, no? So I keep reaching with my brush.
