The Guardian

by Kelley Hensing

This painting was inspired from my recent trip to Spain. I love their beautiful churches and statuary to the Saints. I wanted to create my own version of an iconic feminine figure, using light and elements of nature.

To note, this piece is close to being dry, but needs it’s final glaze. This will create a nice finish and allow the subtle colors to come through. As of this posting I’ll be at my booth at Spectrum Fantastical Art Live this weekend in Kansas City, along with many of my fellow artists from EDO!
