Angelic Heart

Every once in awhile a painting wants to be painted. This is one such painting. It began as a poured painting, which leaves a lot to chance (or opportunity). I poured the paint through tissue paper onto my watercolor paper, intending to create a heart painting, perhaps for Valentine’s Day.

This is the tissue paper with the poured paint on it. I often use these leftover papers for wrapping gifts.

When I later removed the tissue paper, the colors were quite light and I realized it didn’t have to be a heart, although it could have been.

I turned the painting upside down and immediately saw two wings at the top of the page.

I’ve found three angels at this point.

At first, I thought the top angel was the only angel, but then I saw more wings at the bottom of the page. In the end, five angels appeared to be painted.

My secondary title for this painting is “Accidental Angels”. It makes me smile. I believe in magic and angels and a life beyond the physical life we all experience.

May these angels bring comfort and joy and magic into your life.

This is the final image of the heart (turned upside down) with the “Accidental Angels) visible.
