This is a 12X24 inch mixed media collage on crescent illustration board using liquid acrylics, matt medium, tar gel, embossing medium and white feathers. I started this one when I was painting angels for the upcoming show at the Heritage Museum but didn't get it finished in time so I decided to post this on my blog as a special invitation to all of you to the opening of Angels We Have Heard On High, December 4th at 4 PM. If you are in Big Spring be sure to stop by! The show will run through January 11th.

Circle Of Life

Circle Of Life, Mixed Media by Leada Wood (c)2010 All Rights Reserved

I am passionately painting angels preparing for the Caboose Watercolor Sociey's upcoming angel exhibit at the Heritage Museum in Big Spring, Texas, if you are in the area drop by and see our heavenly creations. The Circle of Life is a 20x20 mixed media painted on Crescent Illustration Board. I used gel medium to give texture and to stamp my Fleur-De-Lis in the circle. The angel is painted with transparent watercolor.The Fleur-De-Lis is a stylized Christian symbol representing the lilly which represents purity and in turn the Virgin Mary.The Fleur-De-Lis is composed of three petals and three sepals which symbolizes the Trinity.
