SOARTFUL SATURDAY CHALLENGE - Angel Tears

The sky is crying

This is my entry for Soartful Saturday Challenge over at Art Freebies. The theme is Angel tears. How sad is that? We were allowed to use any images we wanted to represent this theme. I have a vast collection of cemetery angels photographs I have taken all over the world. So that made it a little hard. This angel is from the mountains of North Carolina. I took this photo this spring. The tears are from a 1500's woodcut of rain that I have collected over the years. Somewhat crude yet effective. And of course the phrase is from Stevie Ray Vaughn's song of the same name. A tune that brings tears everytime...

    I'm late commenting on this one. IT's SO moving. I love your stone angel. Your wood cut tears seem exactly right, and the effect is perfect.
