This little porcelain angel came home with me almost a year ago, but this is my first time painting it.
Using the pallet knife this much was an experiment for me. I did an under-wash of greenish, and let that dry before painting it with a pallet knife in shades of purple and grey. I like how the texture from the undercoat came through…

Thank you for viewing my art!
Totally non-painting related personal note: We’re getting our new house keys Friday morning! Yay! And this afternoon we do the walk-through and get to decide exactly where my son’s new hockey tournament metal will go. 🙂
The studio is already completely mapped out in my head. And I have have time for 1 last commission for February, so if you have been thinking about commissioning a portrait, this is a great time to call me.
About this painting
I love painting fruit and flowers and wanted to add some figures into the mix, so I recently brought home 2 angels (and a bird that has already appeared in a painting) for still life setups. The angel shown here has a beautiful deep pink marbled glass body and a sweet shape. She looks like she’s watching over the oranges. This painting has warm tones of pinks, purples, oranges, and a little red where the vase and oranges reflect off of each other, and white daisies and cutting boards.
This is an original oil painting by American artist Jessie Rasche. Jessie has shown in galleries in Washington and California and paints in her studio in South Dakota. Jessie’s artwork has been described as Plein Air Style, Impressionist, Energetic, and occasionally Whimsical or Soft.
