Another from my "little angel" paintings.

Angel with Trumpet - A small angel painting

"Angel with Trumpet"

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board

Available for purchase.

I've tried my hand at another small angel painting.  I have one very favorite knife to paint with but a palette knife painting at this size requries a smaller one.  So I've been using the Langnickle J-3 for these - it still has enough flex and a good sized tip.  Still, these smaller paintings are a little difficult to paint loose and not just make it into a huge blurr.  Had to use a brush here and there to make sure the colors were where I wanted them to be.



With Love - A Floral Bouquet

"With Love"

8 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

Available for purchase, click here.

A few weeks ago, my doorbell rang and a lady delivery person asked me my name then handed me this lovely bouquet.  Full of pink roses, carnations, stocks, heathers and big yellow lilies.  Oh how I love delivered flowers  for no special occasion but just to be told "I'm thinking of you".  



House Angel Palette Knife Painting by Judy Mackey

"For Your Home"

5 x 5 inches, Oil on board, palette knife

SOLD

A Realtor friend had remembered that I'd painted several "house angels" in the past.  I was a Realtor in my past life, actually so house angels seemed an appropriate subject for me.  I had no angels to sell her as they'd all been sold so I painted this little one; the size was her request. 

I usually paint my angels a wee bit bigger than this 5 x 5 inch format - but this request got me thinking.  Maybe this smaller size might be a nice size as Christmas gifts?  What do you think of angel paintings as Christmas gifts?
