I have a couple of new paintings to show you. The first one is an angel holding a kitty. I have received a couple of requests for one like this, so here it is. For her gown I used some vintage sheet music out of an 1800's music book. I have been experimenting with different techniques for texture. On the angel painting, I used a heavy bodied acrylic on the background a then used a stamp to pick some of it up. There are lots of layers of paint here. The wings and halo have pearlized paint.
Crow Funeral was inspired by something I heard on a nature show. I have always loved crows, I find them to be very regal and intelligent. Did you know that when a crow dies, the others honor it by standing quietly around it for a few moments? This really intrigued me, so I had to paint it~ Both of these paintings will be listed on Ebay this week--Have a great day!

Oh Cris how very sad. Wonder what happened to it. I hope it didn't just drop dead from the sky.
Wonderful paintings, I love them both! Oh wow I didn't know that about crows! xo Michele

I didn't know that about crows either, I always liked hearing the crows "cawing" through the woods in the morning. Every morning when I took Baron out I'd hear them. And the angel with the kitty is beautiful...the sheet music and the texture in the backgroud are inspired!
Loving your new technique!
