I've just finished this angel painting called The Blessing. Angels do not have to be associated with a particular religion or indeed any religion at all. They can be symbolic of a thought or wish, and seen as guardian figures. Here I painted the angel holding a sword to symbolise a request for protection and strength. I hope you like her :)

Thanks to `mjranum-stock for the use of his photograph as reference when painting the figure. It was very helpful to help make a natural pose.

I love the lighting falls so gently and the dress's fabric and the way it falls. This just truly beautiful...reminds me of a book called "Katherine" I read once. :-) How many layers did you use? :-O

What an incredible image, so nice. so Very wonderful. I have just spend an hour or so looking at only a few of your pieces. How you make me wish I could draw a curved line without it looking like a tree with the limbs cut off. I do have a bit of another skill, and would like to find out how your licensing works, and how much you charge for a commissioned piece for an online identity I have. such an incredible gift, such an incredible world you help to create. :love:
