"A Gardening Angel"
The Los Angeles ANGEL PROJECT benefited charities for the city of
Los Angeles, California.
My angel, “A Gardening Angel” stands about 8′ tall.
She came to me in a dream, traveling swiftly across the earth, endless fields of flowers float away from her wings as the invisible wind carries blossoms to the landscape below.
TECHNIQUES & MEDIUMS
I painted the four seasons of leaves as a crown upon her head, and a fuchsia blossom necklace with tiny gilded beads around her neck. Cherries and flowers detailed her shoes. One hand held a gold four-leaf clover while a trompe l’oeil butterfly rested in the palm of the other. A tool belt, inspired by a Japanese obi, held a pen, brush, and gardening tools. Feathers and long stemmed roses cascade down the backside of the wings. Spun gilding embellish the wings edges.
"A Gardening Angel" was selected to be in the Sotheby’s Auction and now resides in a private garden somewhere in the world.
