I painted this sweet angel onto a linen board and surrounded her with a garden of tissue papers, wrapping papers, craft papers, and a beautiful wine colored fabric/paper with holes that I found at Jerry's Artarama.  I used acrylics and art pens to blend the various papers into one harmonious composition, and transitioned her wine colored gown into the fabric/paper in order to make it appear as if she floats through the garden while she watches over it and blesses its beauty.

I have obviously jumped into mixed media with both feet, and stomped around joyfully like a small child in rain puddles!  It is making me so happy to make these angel pieces.  This one is also made with artist craft papers, wrapping papers, pieces of photographs, and acrylic paints and art pens.

Angels in Mixed Media - We Will Remember You

I was working on this piece for Memorial Day of 2015, but didn't get it finished in time.  The upper background artist's craft paper is a typed letter home from a serviceman.  I changed the date to indicate that it was sent during WWII, and then formed the rest of the composition around that theme, with love letters from his wife, an actual death notification via telegram, etc.  All of my own WWII veteran relatives now await us in heaven, but they are lovingly remembered and missed dearly.
