Angels are referred to as Watchers, Holy Ones, Host of Heaven, Spirits, Messengers, Guardians and our Champions. They are commonly depicted as having halos and wings and in Christian iconography they are shown as a winged human form and are powerful and are used to execute God's will. This angel is an imaginary angel at rest and as a former librarian, I gave her a book to read but even though she is supposed to be on a "rest break" she still looks down guarding her charges. I used some Pearlescent paint on the wings. Wikipedia has a long article on angels.
Canvas by Canvas has been painting some mini paintings for their upcoming shows and we have done, fish lures and flys, high heels, cupcakes, and now angels. I am one of the 11 members of CBC.

Pair of Jacks

Ask a Texas rancher what animal is a natural guardian for his herds and he'll tell you it's a donkey! Here, two such sentries, Jack and Jenny, pose for one of our artists on a cattle ranch in Crockett, TX. Because of a donkey's loud braying, exceptional hearing, and expert back kicks, he provides safety for the herd from predators such as coyotes, wild dogs, and even snakes.
Pair of Jacks was produced by six different Canvas by Canvas artists with acrylics on 8" x 10" canvases. Framed together in a sturdy custom-made wood frame, the piece measures 24" x 28" and comes with the necessary hanging hardware and a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the participating artists.
