Original Mixed Media Angel Portrait

This original piece of art depicts a full-body standing angel with large, outspread wings and a golden halo. The work appears to be executed on a heavy white paper or cardstock substrate using a combination of colored pencils and possibly acrylic or oil-based paints for the background. The central figure is dressed in a flowing white gown with delicate pleating and holds a small floral sprig. The wings feature tonal variations of white, peach, and orange, suggesting a glow from the right side of the composition. The background is a dark, heavily textured burgundy or deep brown, which makes the central figure pop. Notably, the halo is rendered in a bright metallic gold. Structurally, the paper shows significant curling or warping at the bottom edge, likely due to moisture absorption or the application of the wet background media. There is no visible signature or date on the front of the work. The style is contemporary folk art or illustrative religious art, likely created in the late 20th or early 21st century by an amateur or hobbyist artist. Craftsmanship is visible in the detailed feathering of the wings and the careful rendering of the gown's drapery.
