"Snow Angel"
acrylic glazes on 5x5 inch birch wood
prints available on etsy
This was hubby's idea. The other night he told me I should paint a snow angel for one of my glazed abstracts. Those are his favorite paintings of mine. Typically I have been going to the canvas and just letting images appear. But for this one I did a light sketch on the gessoed wood and used a glaze of payne's gray around the outside of the angel. I used paper towel to wipe away any gray that got on the angel image which ended up being the scratch marks you see on the wings and above the head. I added some charcoal pencil at the end to shade and outline the angel details.
Although I sketched the image on this one I do see two other images in the top left and top right which for me looks like more angels! Do you see them?
