Paint Party Friday - Soaring

Welcome to Paint Party Friday. This piece is entitled 'Soaring' done in my art journal in watercolour pencil (5"h x 7"w). After observing photos of the way birds fly, I realized the legs are always straight back, I suppose Superman looks the same when he 'flies'. This soaring angel exhibits an inspiring sense of freedom I think.  Wouldn't it be nice to feel free like this sometimes, perhaps from all our responsibilities.

Nice artwork, Christine! As always...

That is one great looking picture. I think birds just let their legs go, but it might be a deliberate aerodynamic move. I've never really thought about it.

Love your soaring angel. I think it might be quite hard work flying, although birds make it look easy.

I used to fly in my dreams, over my Toronto elementary school!
Great job. My stuff look so silly, but that's me! Rank amateur!

Great fun, this one.

I went to the markets today and they moved the darn Folgers to now the other bagged area. So weird.

Were you ever able to find a big bag?

Kristin said...

agreed! I wanna fly with her! I love it - the sweet angelic nature of it and the movement she's projecting. Bravo, xoxo

Beautiful picture Christine. I have often watched eagles soaring and skimming the sky with such grace and elegance. I'd love to be one too! Happy PPF
