I have always preferred to paint angels as beautiful winged women. I strongly feel that the feminine side of human nature communicates angelic qualities ― peace, encouragement, support and unconditional love ― in many ways, that which we get from our mothers. And then there are faeries. These social yet mischievous creatures commonly make fleeting and momentary promises. Some have the attention span of a newt, and I have it on good authority, that neatness may not be their forte either. Given all that, it’s not so hard to imagine a social structure upon which relationships between them could be based. - JCC
