Gabriel

11x14 Oil of the Angel Gabriel. Going for a stronger composition and color. With the ethereal look to the background again. Have a great week. Thanks for looking.

The Angel Of Compassion

A 12x16 Oil. Continuing with my Angel Series. This one is on a primed canvas board that was dry when I started the Angel figure. I used the "one stroke at a time" technique to do this one. Going for an abstract, mosaic feel with this painting. My husband helped me come up with the title "The Angel Of Compassion". I felt it was a fit! She looks gentle and graceful to me.

The Angel Of Peace

A 16x20, Oil I just finished today. The fourth in my Angel Series. I primed the canvas first with color, then painted this simple more abstract rendition of an Angel. Fun to do. I am planning on continuing with this series. We'll see what I come up with next! Thanks for looking.

The Angel Of Mercy

A 28x22 Oil I have just finished. The third in my Angel Series. This one I wanted to do on a larger canvas to allow me to explore a more loose tech, showing motion and more of an abstract look. It was all about gobs and gobs of paint and big brushes! I think I will continue with the larger canvas' and use even bigger brushes...like a 2 inch brush to force me to stop being too "tight" with the subject. Yahooo! This is so much fun! I don't feel that I am done with this series. So here comes another Angel in the near future!

"...Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry..."

The Sentinel Angel

A 14x11, Oil, second in my Angel Series! This sentinel is standing watch over us with his trumpet to rejoice with us. I'm having fun with color painting these angels. The wings have alot of texture to them. My next angel will be a more abstract study. Going to start it today. Have a blessed day. Thank you for looking.

Isaiah 40:30
"...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
