Comment from Katya Clements
This is much more sophisticated way of creating an angel then just putting wings on a human:)) you really got to the unseen side of it.
I really like the transparency in this image.
Good job!

Thank you so much, Katya! I see you've changed your name a little, sales must be picking up. If so, good luck to you.

I haven't sold anything since high school:))
just wanted to make my name clear.

very cool picture! like the effects you used, and how they don't really detract from the face....nice use of colors, makes it really pop!

Once again I am awe of painting using the digital processes. This has an ancient egyptian flavour to it from my perspective and the meditative state of the face implies so many things. Golden halo - crown - veil implies light, and wealth - She has value - LOVE IT Sue

Thank you so much, Sue. I had originally named this "Egypt" when I started on it and then tucked it away to finish later. Thank you again for the excellent rating.

Comment from Snopaw
This is really beautiful, awesome digital work. I love he effect that you have put around her face, I did something similar with a rose. Her face and your details are just lovely. Shirley

I love this. So golden and shimmering.

I like the halo effects.
The facial expression is lovely.

This is a beautifully color balanced work.
It is a true blessing.

Comment from Eleanor Perrotta
Shawn, Looking at this piece of art I get a feeling of peace and tranquility. Her soft and gentle face with pale pink cheeks and lips give her a spiritual look. With her eyes closed she seems to be in a dream state. The aura radiating from within her gives her the presence of a holy woman. Great job in your art, coloring and composition.
Eleanor
