Donation item complete!

I finished the 12 x 12 angel piece. You probably won't notice much difference but I glazed over the halos with gold to tone them down a bit. I also did some shading and added stamped names to each angel in gold as well.

THEN.........I decided to make myself a BIG ONE! I started a 24 x 24 canvas with the same design :)

Excuse the sloppy mess surrounding this! I'm not an organized painter by any means :)

I'm heading out to Grand Forks today to do a little grocery shopping, get a manicure and a stop to see my good friends at 'Michaels'.

Hope you're all enjoying a wonderful Sunday. The temps are rising here today so it's wonderful!
Who knew temps in the 20's would feel so balmy?!

Love it very cool you are such a talent

Unknown said...

This is wonderful, how did you get the stamps to look so "un-stamplike"? They look so subtle, I really like it!
As for the weather, we're VERY excited to be above freezing for the day- is it Spring yet?

Serena Lewis said...

WOW...it's eye-catchingly beautiful, Darla! Your large version will be just as gorgeous, if not better, I'm sure.

Unknown said...
