Dance with an angel Painting

As you may have noticed in some of my previous work, I love angels. So, I wondered: Guardian Angels? How would I make this one work? How do I show an "active" guardian angel? What do they do? I have a very good friend of mine who loves to dance. I see her dance on a regular basis, and That gave me an idea. A guardian Angel could be someone who is a Partner, but in a deeper, unconscious way. I applied my pastels on the paper at first, in a random set of colors from yellow to red (orange and pink too). Then I took my paints, and applied it on the paper with the thickest paintbrush I own, and painted on top of the pastels in a think, uneven layer. After working out the position I liked and how big it would go on the page, I sketched the outlines in 2H. I used my scalpel to scrap the paint off and reveal the angel. I kept thinking that the walls of all buildings and paintings on walls have a great texture to show the time that passes. I wanted a reference to that in the Angel: a "creature" of unknown lifespan and origins, a mythical being there without being there... The woman was a lot more straight forward. I decided to not have too many details that would ruin it, so I mostly went with lines here and there.
