I worked a little more on this piece this past week even though I am still dealing with a huge virus of some sort. You can see how I am building up layers on this earth angel's dress. I have also subdued the background with some neutral acrylics. The work is definitely in progress and I would say I will busy with it for several more "days." Note nothing more has been done on the face. I usually work the face first but she is not speaking to me just yet. I think I want to flush out more in her dress and shawl. Hair needs something... and I want to add gold leaf somewhere. You get the idea...I am lost right now. I tend to over think everything because I try to work out what the final product will look like before the first papers are glued down! My heart will find the way eventually. I keep thinking of Cindy while I am working on this. The piece is supposed to give the message of faith and instead, all I can feel is sorrow.

Ohhh, she is so beautiful! I keep thinking a pretty ring of flowers in her hair would be nice. Subtle but light. Reds or light yellows? I don't know. It's so pretty as it is. Hope you feel better soon.
Oh Kathy, I can see this is truly a labour of love. It is exquisitely beautiful.
I hope you feel better soon.
be strong, and best wishes for you. Hope you be better.
