I shared photos of my Christmas angels on Instagram and several people say they colored one, but I don’t have their names on any of them. Though many without names were likely ones I did (especially if glitter was used), here are a few more without names that I don’t think I colored. Some may be from Lynne and some may be from other people. If you stop by and recognize your work, tell me, so I can put your name on it.
1. After “Ecclesia,” a gospel miniature from Salzburg or Passau, late 12th century
Pencils: yellow, blue, gray, and ivory
2. After “Mary, Countess of Pembroke,” by Paul Van Somer, circa 1605-10
Acrylic paints: blue, pink, gold, brown, and almond, dots of blue on the pink add texture
3. After “Valiant Ladies” fresco in the Castle, Mantua Piedmont in Italy, late 14th century
Acrylic paints: white, purple, green, yellow, almond, overbrushed with a royal blue glitter paint, and some gold glitter dots on the bodice
4. After “Young Girl” by G. Netscher, circa 1660
Pencils: pink and greenish gold, almond, and brown, possibly crayon in wine and rose
5. After “The Virgin of Vladimir,” Novgorodian work of late 15th century, Russia
Pencils: various shades of orange, purple, lavender, and almond
6. After “Italian Breviary” circa 1380
Pencils: lightly used rose and blue, yellow, brown, and ivory
7. After bride from “The Betrothal,” Suabian, circa 1470

Unfinished and uncut. Pencils: lightly colored rose, orange, blue, three shades of green, yellow, orange, crimson, and pink, almond; only hands colored on back
By the way, if you WANT to color an angel, I can send you one. Let me know in comments and I’ll email you for an address. Pencils, pens, crayons, paints, glitter–as long as it’s permanent and won’t smudge and can be folded into its angel shape and then lie flat for storage, pick your medium. Also, it needs to be dated and signed so I won’t have to ever do another post like this. It’ll be displayed each Christmas as long as I’m around and fairly lucid.
Here’s one I just colored in the last day or so, another Countess of Pembroke.
Nope, none of those are mine.
I’m going to have to figure out this mystery…
that blue & yellow one might be one of mine…
I thought number 1 was yours, and I wondered about 6 and 7. The only thing about 7 is that I love green; it’s my default color. BUT–I think the shading on the skirt on number 7 is better than I usually achieve.
