Painting Angels

I had this and a few other angel paintings on display in a small gallery/frame shop nearby, and it was recently returned to me.  Several of the others sold, but I was kind of glad this one didn't.  It's hanging next to my computer, and I like looking at all the layers of collaged papers (click on the image--all the details show up beautifully in the enlargement) peeking through the painting (first time I had tried this technique).


I also like to remember actually painting this one:  a good friend let me stay at her magnificent beach house in Seaside, OR a couple months ago, and I spent dreamy hours painting away while the beach was just steps away.

 
I'm so anxious to go back!  I could use a change of scenery and a bit of inspiration.

    I think she was meant to stay with you to remind you of such a lovely time! Ah, painting at the beach sounds wonderful.

    I love Seaside... I can see why you'd be inspired there. Isn't it a great little town?

    Love your angel painting... what a sweet face she has.

    Blessings!
