Very cool #1. The facial expression is excellent. The body form and language is excellent. The details is excellent. The depth is excellent. The shading is excellent. The blend of the colors is excellent. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and awesome work overall.

Your lovely angel is being spot lit in a heavenly way. The use of the light bleeding into the darker scene is very effective. The lower corners have just enough light allow us to see the details in the shadows. Very effective use of light.

Now this is beautiful, so much more so than the last angel with more nudity. The golden surroundings are gorgeous. Her wings, dress and the side position are all so good in pastel. A very tasteful painting in my opinion, artist friend.

I like the way you have painted the light and shadows to make the figure pop. Another fine angel painting. You have captured the mood and personality of the angel well. Good effort!

Good job on this painting the dress is well done and the angels face is very well done, the shading of her face is really good to show her cheeks. Only thing that takes away from the painting is the top of her right wing appears to be a bit to large, besides that it's great.

Comment from Ray Gordon


James, This is a very fine portrait. This must be an older piece the bottom half is dark. The shadow under the right cheek is too dark compared to the the light in the room and bounce from the wing and the same for the shoulder shadows. This one could have been out of the park. Ray

This is indeed a beautiful Angel, surrounded by the golden light of Heaven. Love the detailing and texture you have created in her lovely white gown, as well as her folded wings,as well as the diagonal split between dark and light. Just gorgeous!

Hi! It's always good to see your work. You have a beautiful angel depicted here. I'm not sure if it's my eyes or if this is a bit out of focus?
Nevertheless as always you have created a lovely lady.
The folds in the dress are perfectly done and I love her expression. One on a mission...
