This painting was inspired by something wonderful I saw on the evening news around the time of Christmas. An angel was recorded on a hospital’s surveillance camera at the nurse’s station. The mother of the girl that the angel came to heal was at the nurse’s station at the time of the angel’s visit and was able to capture it’s appearance on her cell phone camera. She shared her miracle with the world via the news media. I based the this painting on John 8:36

I used acrylics, watercolors, inks, and pastel chalks for the background and foreground. I collaged with tissue papers, collage papers and printed text. I used rubberstamps, stencils, modeling paste, ribbons, and iridescent mediums. The dress has a pocket near the bottom which I will use for adding some white feathers to. (As soon as I get some!) The halo is crackle painted and has a wash of metallic blue in the creases.

Lisa awarded me with TWO! blog awards which I will be sharing with you this week. She does some wonderfully inspiring work ~ Be sure to check her out at Simple Journeys.

I’m working on two new pieces that I just got done woodburning today. I’ll share more about them when there is more to share. =) Until then…. Happy Creating!
