Trust

I think creating my first angel work (previous post) has led me to creating more angels. Maybe the first one is guiding me :)

This is a mixed-media piece that I worked on yesterday. I call it the Trust Angel. I drew her and painted her with acrylics and Caran D'ache watercolor crayons.

I've never worked on a "series" of paintings, so I'm being guided into creating a series of angel works. This is my first one of a series (more to come).

This particular piece was done on an 8 x 10 canvas; I guess this is my first canvas work, too, with my own drawing. Lots of firsts! :)

While creating this, I got to thinking.........what is an angel? What does that mean to you? I'd love to read your reply, here, in your comments.

To some, an angel might have a religious connotation. To me, an angel, is someone who is kind to people, caring, and warm with a keen sense of humor. Someone we can trust, who has good character and a solid value system who treasures family and friends, loves animals, cares about the environment, enjoys helping people in need.

Sounds like it sums up all of you :)

I find I'm really, at peace, working on my angels. I'm a bit of a "shaker and a mover" and perhaps this is "my angels" way of telling me I need to slow down a bit; take life a little calmer and more peacefully. I will follow the lead and see where this takes me; another art journey - I'm loving the ride!

Thank you all for your lovely comments you leave here upon your visit. You are all my angels! Again; would love to read, here, what an angel means to you.

Enjoy your day, may it offer you peace and joy!
