Aspen Angel
Aspen was born very small (about 4 lbs). Doctors labeled her with “failure to thrive” yet she was then and is to this day a fighter. As a result of having a tiny frame, she has the perfect china doll profile, which I just had to paint. So I decided to create this painting of Aspen as a little angel in a moment of reverence.
The background and underpainting are acrylic. I then painted top colors using oil paint because it is easier to blend in oil paint.
