    • Dear Rainee, your choice is excellent. The colour of the garments, looks almost as golden and the belt fitting his paunch, evokes a very human angel. The pencil and the watercolour strokes make a master work. I’m grateful for stopping by. Thanks so much for your skilled option. Best wishes. xoxo
