Let The Sun Shine . . . She's Painted!

Let the Sun Shine . . .
8x10 mixed media on canvas board

Thanks for all of your lovely comments on yesterday's post! I will be starting on the new sketch for this weeks challenge soon and am excited to see how I do with it.

So I finally had a chance to get my recent angel sketch on canvas. I did the background a few days ago and actually thought it made a pretty good landscape on its own! Yesterday I transferred the sketch and the only color I debated was her clothes. Originally I used folk art italian sage but then changed it to white. I almost switched her to another color because I was unsure of the white but left it alone!

Hope you like her!

    Hi Cathy,
    Great to see you're on a roll! I love the titles you choose for your paintings. You should go for an "Angel portfolio". Are you going to have an exhibition? you should. My friend is a painter in NY and he recently had one at a coffee shop and one at a frame shop and it went well. I know you said you're shy but perhpas one of your outgoing friends can help you with the "marketing" ;)
