Finally Finished!


I'm happy to be finished with this painting. I still want to tinker with her wings a bit; but I'm making myself step away for now.


And I've been working on some new things for my shop. I'll give you a little hint...


Have a wonderful weekend and remember to savor each moment!

    The crackling texture is really interesting, and the jewelry (?) looks intriguing!

    It looks like she is coming through [whatever] into peace, and the [whatever] is crackling/fading away around her. Like from winter into spring/from struggle into peace. Love the detail!
