Most angels are depicted with white wings and a pale skintone, so as a reaction against that convention, I decided to make an angel with falcon feathers and a rich skintone to compliment her wings
I chose this piece for the challenge because it has the required range of hues and also as a palette cleanser for all the bleached out angels you’ll be seeing during the holiday season
She’s gorgeous and I love the color scheme, like a Southwestern angel…
she does have a kachina vibe going on, doesn’t she?
