2009 Limited Edition Angel Ornament

6.5 x 5.5" oil on wood, copper wire wings and halo

I have a thing for Christmas Tree ornaments. I love them! So again this year I have made a limited collection of original hand-painted angel ornaments. Each angel is oil on wood, painted on both sides, numbered and signed. The wings and halos are copper wire and the halo is topped off with a bead and a satin ribbon for hanging. Because each ornament is an original painting, they will vary slightly. My elves will happily choose the perfect angel for you. Each ornament comes in it’s own teal green gift bag with a brightly colored ribbon and a gift tag. All you have to do is decide who is the lucky recipient. Each angel measures 5.5 x 6.5 including wings and the halo. Order by December 19 for Christmas delivery.

And I have a few of last year’s angels left if you’d like to take a peek…

Hanky-Panky

12x16" oil on canvas

Another Valentine's painting. I'm definitely on a roll...

Juggler Of Hearts

10x8" oil on canvas, SOLD

I really love all the hoopla surrounding Valentine's Day. Even in the grocery store there's red and pink displays in case you're of the mind that you should fatten up your Valentine this year. My favorite Valentine factoid, passed on to me by my teenage daughter, is that upwards of 70% of single women admit to sending themselves flowers on the day of love. Seems like Hallmark could have some fun with this!

Guardian Angel Of Wavering Sanity

10x8" oil on canvas, SOLD

Have I mentioned that I went to Catholic School? Most of my pre-college days were spent under the tutelage of the glorious Sisters of Charity. I have very fond memories of the etchings in my bible history textbook from those days. Scary, actually. Ask me someday about the poor folks that didn't make it to heaven. Enough to scare the hell out of a little kid. Anyway, rather than use my brain cells to memorize the history of the bible, I spent a lot of time thinking about the pictures (a visual learner). I was always stumped by the angel's halos. How did they stay on? With bobby pins? Velcro? What? I prayed for the answer. Years later, I had a fabulous professor of Art History that described this particular style of angelic headwear as "Pie-Pan Halos". I love that. Still not sure how they stay on but at least they have a really great name.
