Was A Young Maiden
More experimentation with a dark palette and glazing and another dark Madonna. Lots of texture and again, the halo is gold leaf. I've called this one "Was a Young Maiden".

Black Madonna Painting For Today
It snowed all day today, sometimes great big fluffy flakes and sometimes more of that snow that looks almost like mist. It was beautiful light to paint by. But not the best I realized for taking pictures of my finished work. The browns are much richer than I'm seeing on my monitor. I call this Black Madonna "Divine Within." The background and halo are deeply textured and I've used gold leaf on halo.
There is a lovely woman and fantastic artist named Judy Vars. She writes a wonderful, entertaining and as I've learned, instructional blog. Her latest entries illustrate the process of "indirect painting". Her resulting paintings are gorgeous. Judy, you've almost convinced me it's time to start experimenting with oils again!

Two Paintings For Today! Frida and Angel Icon
I have two paintings to share today. The first one is another in my on-going series of Frida Kahlo studies. Frida is seated in a green dress before rich scarlet draperies weighing an apple in each hand.
“We cannot tempt fate without eventually getting scorched by it”

Artist: Wendy Ryan
Title: Weighing the Temptation
Medium: Acrylic on Wooden Block
Size: 5 X 7 x .75 in
11 X 15 x 2 cm
Date: 2007
My second painting is a large Angel Icon painted in acrylics and liquid gold leaf on a deeply textured wooden cross. At the top of the cross I've placed a smaller clay cross embellished with a sparkling Swarovski Rhinestone. Although it may be difficult to see on your screen, the angel is painted against a deeply glowing liquid gold leaf background. It is truly a dramatic and unique piece of spiritual wall art.
