Within Daniel in the Lions’ Den is also an angel painting…..There was much debate about how to depict the angel. The final stages of this painting involved quite a lot of changes, and included adding the angel with his golden wings (gold leaf protected by shellac varnish)……now that feels better! Daniel needed his angel. This painting is for a collector in Singapore and by emails back and forth we’ve been making decisions about how the painting develops. I find this way of working very rewarding, because art can be quite a lonely pursuit at times, so working in a collaborative way can be great.
You can see how the painting has changed over the past few weeks by looking at my previous post, “On the Theme of Daniel.”
