The Angel of Chartres
Oil on Canvas
50cm x 40cm (approx)
I did this one from a postcard that I found in Chartres Cathedral ages and ages ago. I divied up the canvas and a photocopy of the card into sections and then, with a palette knife (exclusively; I thought I would go mad) I dobbed the paint on.
I didn't draw the image on the canvas and I only used three colours (red, yellow, blue) and white.
Lot's of people who have seen it rather like it. I'm of the opinion that it is sort of grotesque and I can't decide if I'm cool with that or not.

Do I say this every week? I love it!
You're so talented and creative and obviously love art and arty stuff. It shines through.
Jenn! This is beautiful!
I adore this! It's awesome! I don't think it's grotesque at all. The fact that it's only 3 colors and white makes it more incredible. If I had two dimes to rub together, I'd buy this.
I like it. The colors are nice and I like how it is divided up. We did that in art class once. It actually looks to me like an appliqué quilt.
Love this. It's incredibly striking.
