Brian Penkalski is a little older than some of the cherubic babies that are featured on other paintings, but as I searched for a universal theme of his symbol the wheel, I thought like a circle it is never ending, it is active, it is creative, intelligent, useful, and for a young person probably a lot of fun. I wanted to show Brian’s angel having fun with this wheel.  I used some old photos of my own children for reference and created a happy smiling angel just having a good time in the clouds.  -- Wayne Taylor
