So.........I'm going with this! I LIKE painting this stuff so this is what I did! LOL
12 x 12 x 1.5 wooden piece
This is not quite finished yet......need to do some shading, outlining and possibly tone down the halos with gold? Sometimes I just need to photograph a piece and stare at it to figure out what's next :) I might stamp 'Faith', 'Love', and 'Joy' on each of the angel dresses also.
Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed....IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!! Woohoo! Being sick all last weekend, I'm excited now for 2 days to get some things done, like put away Christmas decorations :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Darla

Hi Darla,
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm with you, Paint from the heart, if no one likes it at least you can enjoy it.
I love the last two pieces.

Hey there Darla,
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautiful. Whenever I do something other than what I want to do, it gets too hard to do.
Good for you!

You're welcome, Darla, I'm so glad you liked it! And guess what? I just received yours today!!! :) Thanks so much, it really made my day!
ReplyDeleteYour new painting is fantastic, I really, really love it! The background is gorgeous and the angels sooo sweet! I simply love it!
Lots of love, Sanda xx
This is beautiful, I LOVE your style! It's funny how the pieces we do for ourselves always seem to turn out better than the ones we *think* buyers want :)
ReplyDeleteHappy creating!
Hi Darla!
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks for reminding me. I forgot to put the comments in the design when I was creating my blog template. Hehe...so glad you pointed it out. I would've thought I was all alone in the world.
