What a task, who said art was an easy option?  Not only do I struggle with the painting, I have also been struggling to name these 'angels'.  It has taken me several weeks and thanks to all of the lovely ideas that you sent me, they now have their names. What would I do without all of your help and support...Thank you all.x

I need a name for my angel..

The first of the oil on paper Angels is finished,  I have given her touches of gold leaf.  She just needs a title... Any ideas my blogging friends? 

oil on paper.. An angelic update

I thought you might like to see the angels once again and the progress and changes that have been made.

 (I'm afraid that the photographs are not that good)

 Notice the 'special' holding clamps...

They are almost finished, just last minute touches to do..

Oil on paper.. looking a little strange at the moment...

3 Angels...A work in progress

I found some water colour paper at the back of the cupboard, stuck some tissue from a dress making pattern on it... The dressmaking is not going so good... then gesso and now oil paint, but like all paintings they take time to develop, the tissue adds a texture which is lovely to work on.  It's also nice working on something small, they are only small about 10" square.  I shall post an update in a couple of day's the oil paint is taking an age to dry in the damp weather.
