Guiding Angel

My dear friend is sitting bedside of a loved one who is transitioning from this world to the next. This is a very special time filled with waiting yes, but, most importantly with thoughts of all the treasured memories shared with each other, now and through the years. While speaking with my friend on the phone I felt God lead me to the easel and paints. The images I received over and over again were of the most beautiful angels sitting at the bedside of this loved one. I felt like this one particular angel was The Guiding Angel, there for just that purpose. So, with only an internal knowing of what this angel might look like I began to paint. This is what I saw....

All around the Barnyard!

You all got to see this painting in an earlier post two weeks ago, Travis and His Chicks. 12"x48"x1 1/2".
I have been very busy with chickens and roosters lately and thought I'd do a wacky kind of painting next.

This painting was all for fun after such a serious painting before it. I call this one , Crazy Chickens! 12"x48"x1 1/2". Had a lot of fun with it and everyone who dropped by the studio had a laugh too!

Finally and the END of the line for chickens for awhile is Hen Pecked, a folksy, arts and crafts style painting. 12"x24'.
Sure do hope you enjoyed these barnyard critters!

On The Easel

Okay, here is the first step in blocking in some of the color to this Belly Dancer painting. These are just the "little" people.The main Belly Dancer has'nt had any color yet. I will show her to you when she gets a layer of paint on her. For now, this is where I am. There are three belly dancers in total. The camels need to get some color on them and some shadows and highlights yet are still to come. I thought though that perhaps you might like to see the construction.
