This graceful angel monument was originally painted in the blues you see here.  When she went to the printer I took the suggestion of an artist at the studio and had her done in other colors as well.  We looked through various shades in the complimentary range and came up with these scorching hot sepia tones, but he gets all the credit for the way the black and white turned out.  He chose to remove all the grays from the background and leave her standing starkly against pitch black, which turned out to be a pretty dramatic look. 

When they were first shown, all three were hung together, side by side, with the blue in the center.  The blue giclee has a black frame; the sepia has a mahogany frame; and the black and white has a white frame; and all are 1" contemporary frames.  The size of the frames is approximately the same as the gray border on the images here.  The giclees are available singly or as a set.

These small cherubs were all painted during our 10-10-10 Event in October of 2010.  I intended for them to be sold as a set, and they can still be purchased together as prints, but Toby is the only original left for sale.  The tones of his patina are so green that I call him my little Shrek baby.   :-)

When I find cherubs in cemeteries, I often wonder if the artist was commissioned to sculpt a likeness of the child who is buried there as an angel.  In my imagination I like to think that the Lord sends down a friendly spirit to bring a child who leaves this earth to be with Him in heaven, so cherubs like these have a special place in my heart.  But whether children are escorted by angels who look like other children or whether they are solid, reassuring grown ups or whether Jesus Himself appears and takes them in His loving arms, who knows?  For me, there's room enough in the mystery for any and all answers, as long as the 'end' is with God.
