The Angel in the Setting Sun


"Bass Hall Angel"  (detail - in progress)


A few thousand brushstrokes later and the Bass Hall angel is finished.  Now I'm starting to paint the people on the balcony and the details on the rest of the building.   I think this might be one of the most complicated paintings I've ever done!

  3. Stunning! It never fails to amaze me that these angels appear so soft and graceful, yet are carved from limestone. Your painting captures this softness, as well as the warmth of the sun. Fabulous painting, and I can't wait to see the rest of it.
