Meet Grace. I finished this painting yesterday. I am really enjoying painting on the rusted tin tiles. I adhered the tin to a piece of birch plywood. Finished with sanding and crackling. Measures 12" x 12". I love how this one crackled and how the rust is showing through.

In a recent interview, I was asked, "When did your interested in angels begin?"  This is my response….I have, for many years, been fond of angels. Back in 1996 when I started my wholesale business I had a collection of whimsical 8×10 prints that I had painted in watercolor called "Angel Series"….Each Angel was the guardian of something, for instance, teddy bear angel, snow angel, autumn angel, etc. Angels have always been a part of my portfolio, however, my as my faith has grown over the years so has my fondness of angels. My more recent acrylic angel paintings are inspired by scripture, but not all of my angel paintings have scripture. I have an ongoing list of scriptures that I have written in my sketch books and after sketching an angel, I will search for an appropriate scripture. Sometimes I choose a scripture reading that is exactly what I needed to read at the time, other times the choice is inspired by what may be going on in the world at the moment and sometimes it is as simple as an expression on the angels face or what the angel’s surroundings are in the sketch.

I use bible gateway to search for all the scriptures I use in my art. You can search by verse or keywords and you can choose from every bible available.

 

 Wishing you a great weekend!

That is a bummer. I would have thought Aweber had that working since mobile is so huge!
