"Angelic Face" Oil on 6x6 panel



This painting was done from a photo I took at a garden show called "Gardenscape". It's a lovely indoor show, full of beautiful gardens and blooming spring flowers. This angel was in the form of a round flat stone plaque, with the relief carving of the angels face and wings. I thought the face was so beautiful and peaceful looking, I wanted to try and paint it. I chose to leave out most of the design of the wings and concentrated on the face. Sometime, I'd like to try and do a larger painting of the entire design.

  4. Hi Debbie, I just love this. There is great feeling in the face and it's a powerful decision to just zoom in on it for your painting.

    Bet you got some other great photos from the garden show to paint from also.
