I just finished this angel, what are your thoughts?
Is there any thing I should change? My paints will be here by the mid week, and then I will try to paint it.

I agree, thin the wings some. Looks great otherwise!

Your right the wings were to thick.

Thanks for the fresh look, after a few hours working on it I get a little dazed.

Looks much better with the thinner wings. What kind of wood is it? Did you ever consider leaving it natural or just staining it instead of painting? I think it looks good the way it is.

I believe it is white oak. Most everyone I talk to like everything painted, so painted it is then!
www.jerrysartarama.com had Allen Montague Acrylic paint 75ml tubes on closeout for only $0.99, so I got five different colors.
