My Angel

I started this years ago. It was a mother and daughter. I was using the last piece of paper in a really old watercolor block. I was not happy with the way the paint was absorbed by the paper. Also, I never found a picture that captured the women's expressions the way I hoped. I left it alone for a few years and finally picked it up again. I played around with the colors which are really nice on the original and added the wings making the women an angel. Someday I might find the perfect face for her and go back into it. It was done mostly in watercolor but there are some pearlized paints that I used to see what they would do on top of the watercolor. I really love the effects.
