Walking with the Angels: Guardian 16
This painting was a real struggle as you will see the many faces it took on. Sometimes it is an inner struggle and sometimes I just keep searching for what the medium can do and say.
By this time the textures are thick, color is rich, and I added some metal powders to the paint. Wanted to go strong female.
The painting started vertical, with several figures emerging. |
Flipped it horizontal and a dark singular figure emerges. |
Looking back, I like this, but remember at the time I felt I needed to "lighten up." |
Changes were because I wanted to add gesture for excitement. |
Added some gold leaf in angel and sky. |
It got exciting, but looked too much like "Super-man Angel." |
Quieted it down, got rid of gesture, still very dark, now I'm in painters hell. |
Breaking through. |

Walking with the Angels: SCULPTURE, totems
This is the first of a series of TOTEMS I have in mind, honoring those people who have passed away. The first is of my beloved Mother-in-law who passed away April, 2012.

As I explore the spiritual theme of angels and the development of a style, I try to keep open to intuition and where the medium (oil) may take the painting. Here are photos taken of several paintings in different stages.
