I'm not religious but love angels. I believe in their power for healing and protecting. This was a commission I just finished. It's a 16x16 inch wood panel. The original one I did was 12x12 and is a gift for my mom's 83rd birthday coming up. I've done a few angels over the years and I'm sure I'll do more when the inspiration hits.
This is another commission I just completed and am getting ready to ship it! It's a 20x20 inch canvas done with a palette knife. It was a larger version of a painting I did in 2014(?) or around there. It was from one of my 30 paintings in 30 days. The scene was around Trinity County and the original had more grayish purple mountains but my client wanted more of a blue ridge greenish mountain. She also wanted the red I had on the original one toned down a lot. I actually really love this!
Doing commissions not only help me financially they also help to have another set of eyes and creativity. I think I said once that I would rather paint freely but I have changed my mind. Commissions give me the push I need right now. I've been struggling lately. For some reason, my art is not flowing out of me like it has in the past. Many things have changed and there's a lot going on which may be affecting it, but for now I'm so grateful for those who have contacted me for a painting. Here's the link to my etsy shop with more information about that!
I hope you're enjoying this gorgeous time of year!
