Angel Giveaway

My messy backgrounds transformed into textured, happy angel paintings.
Because you can only feel good energy while you paint angels, I painted them to forget my aches and pains and it worked. And since they helped me, I thought I might share them with someone else. Therefore - a giveaway! 
 The one that holds a home (and everything that it symbolizes) will go as a gift to a dear friend.
This other one, as a gift to you. Just leave a comment (and email, if your email doesn't show in the comments section), and I will pick a random reader next Thursday (May 3rd).

The photo above is a scanned version of the painting without the final layer. The photo below is not a scan, and it has a lovely, thick layer of encaustic medium. It's really hard to see in the photo - it looks blurred and a little washed out, but in life that layer simply makes me happy... I love looking at it and touching the surface. Hopefully, whoever receives the painting will love it too.
- 8"x18" on heavyweight watercolor paper- 
If you like them, don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win!
Have an amazing weekend!

  13. I would love to win your giveaway of the angel holding a bird. As much as I love your art, I would give it to my friend who just had major surgery. She loves anything bird related...and she could use an angel to watch over her.

  17. I can't believe it! You are really giving away that Angel with her sweet soft face, holding a bird to remind me I myself am in control of my freedom. Well, not always of course, but the times that I can be in control truly deserve a crown.
    Please add me in the draw, I am so keeping my fingers crossed!

    Love,
    Saskia
