Sarah Mae Westie: I will keep you safe in my heart.

My mom and step dad lost their dog Sarah to Lymphoma, so I painted this for them so that they can imagine what Sarah's heavenly companion might be like.  I never know what any of my angels are going to look like until I am done.  I may know how they will be sitting, or perhaps what color dress I may paint on her, but she doesn't take shape until I start painting her.  In the case of the "Hell" Angels (Through Hell or High Water, I will be there for you."  I didn't even know it was going to be painted in hell or that I was even going to paint myself in the picture.  I just wanted to paint the Angel version of my daughter. It is fun to make up as I go.  In this case, I knew that my Angel was going to be sitting, and that Sarah was going to be propped up on her legs.  Rest in Peace Sweet Sarah!  Say "Hello" to my Pippin and Quigley.

Tree Angel Revisited

Last night I couldn't sleep, because something was missing on my "Tree Angel."  So I stayed up a little later than usual and lit up the tree by placing a moon behind it.  This gives a halo effect, and hopefully brings the tree out a little bit.  My husband recommended that I don't bring the tree out too much, because it would take away from the angel.  I agree.

Angel Series

It seems like the last several paintings I have stuck with the "Angel" theme.  These are the last three starting with the latest.

Tree - Centered & Balanced

I had been taking yoga for a couple months now and I have been really enjoying it.  This angel was inspired by the famous "Tree Pose, which is supposed to help one to achieve center and balance.

Through Hell or High Water - I'll be There for You!

Dedicated to my daughter.  Actually this is supposed to be the two of us.  I did not plan for us to be in Hell, it just turned out that way, so I went with it.  :)

Rainbow's Angel

Dedicated to my beloved Pippin and Quigley.  May they rest in peace.  They had been there with me for 17 years.  They were truly my best friends.  They are now blessing someone up at Rainbow's Bridge.  Until we meet again, Pip and Quig!
