I EARN MY WINGS

The Rotary sponsored Avalon Wine Walk seemed to arrive quickly this year. I was fortunate to finish my Angel Wings piece, The Devil Is in the Details , just before the exhibit. I hung the wings up with the fresh smell of varnish still on them.

I had been stuck on the wing details for about a week, and then I envisioned the final wing design one day before the event. It all came to me early in the morning just after I woke up. I must have still been in dreamstate, cuz it happened in a blink.

This would be my second time exhibiting for the Avalon wine walk and I was very excited to exhibit my Angel Wings.

EARLY STAGES

Creating these wings was a fantastic & enlightening journey for me. I never had any interest in painting Angel Wings. The idea came to me one night, but I made a deal and can’t divulge my inspiration. Wink Wink.

The landscape part took me three sessions, over three days. The wings took over two weeks to get right and balanced. As for actually finishing both wings, I was stuck for a hot minute. Then the day before my exhibit, the thought of texture painting them came to me.

Sketching & Painting

Love this “sketch/painting” technique directly on the canvas.

It was a fantastic time socializing with these Orlando artists & our host John always makes it an interesting time. John allows us to transform Avalon Realty Group into the Eastside’s only legit art gallery for a night, and it is truly magical.
