“Captured Angel” (1988)

 

Oil. My favorite painting. My reference pictures were two ads in Seventeen magazine . My lady is longing to live in the country, but she can only go there in her imagination. I have the same desire. Dan Fogelberg is my favorite singer from the 70's and his song, "Captured Angel", just seems to be the right anthem and title for the painting.

Acrylic. My parent's lovable irish cat, who does love people, despite the rumors.
