Someone to Watch Over Me

This painting was one I did two years ago and I decided to do some more work to it. “Someone to Watch over Me” is a wish fulfillment painting. It sums up how I feel about the presence of a guardian angel who comes and goes in my life. Sometimes I can almost feel that guiding presence and other times it goes away and leaves me to make my own way.

About angela brittain

Each work I create has a search for “rightness” – an attempt to solve complex and often self-imposed compositional problems. They often have a tension below the surface. I work mainly in oil or acrylics on board. People fascinate me but I’m not sure that I made a conscious decision to make people central to my work or if this subject chose me. I have a Diploma in Art and Design and worked for several years as a graphic designer and illustrator before finally returning to my first love of drawing & painting in 2008. I have taught art to children and adults and currently offer one-to-one workshops from my home studio in West Sussex. I am a Member of the Society of Women Artists (SWA) and exhibit in London and the South.
