The angel is alive …
I’m almost done with the angel — the face and pose finally came through. I feel like I’ve birthed a new being! Now that the figure more defined, I’m going to go back in and “mess up” some edges to make it more dynamic. I want this piece to be a combination of realism and expressionism; some parts will focus forward into representational imagery, others will dissolve into movement and energy.

I’ve also started painting in names. If you look closely at the feathers, you might see letters carved into the paint. One of these days, I’m going to haul the canvas outside so I can take a better photograph.

When I’ve finally completed this, I’ll have to throw a party so everyone can see it in person and look for their names. And for the out-of-towners, I’ll just have to post better pictures!
The angel is STUNNING!!! Those wings… I feel quite safe and in absolute awe under this etheric one. Takes my breath away, for sure. And the light, the light. Beauty so alive. Thank you, Maggie. All love, Adesh
