Golden Angel
I recently read an adorable quote that stuck in my head, made me smile, and has me thinking about angels.
The question is not
“Will you find your wings?”It’s “What are you going to wear
with all of those magnificent feathers?”
You know – we all have wings… Some are flashier than others… Some are easily seen… some are tucked in and hidden.
Let’s wear them magnificently?
I haven’t had much time for painting lately, but I was really in the mood the other evening. I really felt like I needed to. So I decided to try something different, and this angel evolved. I think I will be doing more.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
This painting is available at McKinneyX2Designs and Berry Vine Gifts – original, prints, and greeting cards.
Watercolors used: Daniel Smith Quinacridone Gold, Raw Sienna, Lunar Black, and a splash of Cadmium Red. (Because every painting should have at least a hint of something red! Right Joyce?)
What a clever and beautiful angel painting! I love how you’ve done it!

Just beautiful, Jodi! My grandmother used to tell me that, when you die, you become an angel and can pick out the color of your own wings. When I asked her what color her wings would be, she said, “Pink; definitely pink.”
I think I’d like that, too! 🙂

Splendiferous painting!! Your Guardian Angel guided your hand, so that she could appear for all the world to see! You must have heard her whispering in your ear…”Angels speak to those who silence their minds long enough to hear”- unknown. Thank-you from an Angel lover and believer!
