She is another of my Christmas ornaments. This is the not-quite-finished version, for the glimmering shimmering holy shine that finishes her off may well take a few hours to dry. Will you come back later and see her sparkle?
In the meantime, pop along to Blue Chair Diary and see what the other Sunday Sketchers are up to...
I now present the finished version. The scan made my sparkles a bit pink - they are more muted in real life. Added a Kim Klassen texture for the final touch (appropriately, Silent Night).

we do need those times of solitude...as much as we need the times together...i like her...the sepia look...the wreath...she is simple yet very nice...
ReplyDeleteShe is so peaceful, yet the tangle of the wreath in her hands speaks of some binding or trouble.
ReplyDeleteNice work.

ReplyDeleteI like the old world look about her. It is amazing to me at how much art you are able to produce. You're fantastic!
ReplyDeletethere is an added dimension in the finished sketch! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteOh, she is beautiful! Love the expression on the face! We were thinking last night we might pick an ornament from the tree to sketch over the holiday!
ReplyDeletejoining sunday sketches today.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sweet angel. The first image seems like it could be a finished piece as well. Both are lovely.
oh this Angel looks wonderful....I have a special place in my heart for Angels....
ReplyDeletereally really fabulous! I love the aged feel to her - she looks like an angel from a victorian christmas to me. Love her...
ReplyDeleteSmiles
she looks peaceful, relax, I like the shimmering on the finish version
ReplyDeleteshe is lovely. I enjoy seeing both versions, the layers that make her are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, I like this one, too. I was taken by the dissonance of this piece. Your angel is soft and delicate, yet her crown and wreath give the appearance of intertwined vines. Love that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Christmas Angel! She will be a lovely ornament!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love angels! She is so dainty and lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful piece. I agree with you that "quiet time" can work wonders. When I see your angel she gives me thoughts of peace and calm so very appropriate for the theme. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteTotally wonderful with a great sense of peace. Annette x
ReplyDeleteShe will look gorgeous when she shimmers! :)
ReplyDeleteoh this is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful... I love the monochromatic drawing with the addition of the sparkles!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of drawing your ornaments :)

ReplyDeleteThink I lost my comment, love your angel, she seems peaceful.
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely! xx
ReplyDeleteLisa, your angel is absolutely stunning!! Wow. I am so in love with her. Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, and subtle at the same time! I love the way we can only see a hint of her expression, and yet it is enough to see that she is at peace......lovely!
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting, beautiful angel.
ReplyDeleteLovely angel - always interesting to see different angels at this time of year. My own are a bit weird.
ReplyDeleteCharming and so beautiful Lisa...wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI can see why drawing her brought you peace; she is beautiful. I feel peaceful just looking at this drawing. I love angel art and ornaments - I have a fair few Lol.
