 I’ve replaced the angel with this lovely new canvas, preparing to draw the pencil version of the Empress (the Angel of Birth). I decided to give the Angel of Death a rest for a while simply because I’m not particularly excited about working on it right now. It’s so close to completion that I expect it’s going to be like my experience of painting the crucifixion that I finished a year ago, needing only a day or two of work to wrap it up.

I hope to get the right hand side of the big painting sealed with iron oxide either tonight or tomorrow so the en grisaille work can begin.
