This piece will grace the cover of a hymn book for the concertina(hand held organ).
I was contacted by wonderful man who needed an angel playing the instrument for the front of a book he was producing. I also discovered that the extra funds derived from copies sold, will go to him completing seminary, to be a Priest.
Needless to say, I was all too happy to help, and fortunately, the artwork was just what he was looking for.
*Note:My scanner made the face look a bit more 'glowy' than it appears offline. The facial shading is more gentle as well.

LOVE the blue and the gold. They give it such a rich feel, even though the earth tones of the angel's clothes keep it humble. It reminds me of medieval paintings of angels in that respect.

And it's for such a good cause, too! That's very nice. :-)

A wonderful piece as usual!

And I especially like the story of how this art is being used to help a young man complete seminary. :] How very nice of you to be so generous as to help out.
