Little Star (2026) Original Oil Painting by Ellisa Hague

Little Star is a small painting of a cherub drifting through cloud light, painted in a Baroque‑yet‑modern style and finished with a smattering of shimmer dust for a subtle sparkle. The cherub holds a pale pink apple, a symbol of innocence and sweetness and a winding blush pink ribbon adds gentle movement.

This work carries a gentle tribute to the little souls who couldn’t remain on earth, offering a moment of soft remembrance.

How it's made

Created using a classical technique: a refined underpainting sets the structure, then layers of luminous glaze build colour and atmosphere. Light moves through each transparent layer, giving the artwork its soft radiance and timeless glow.
