"The crayons are something comparatively new for Mr. Woodward. The most satisfying one strangely enough is the least colorful, The Patient Angel," and surely it is the same angel that trumpets in "The Trumpeting Angel," which I have commented on before... but this angel has found a new barn and a new barnyard to watch over and he no longer trumpets. You feel that he is just what his name says, and the soft restfulness of his patience creeps into your very bones."

The Trumpeting Angel

According to Jeanette Matthews, the angel, "is the same," angel seen in The Trumpeting Angel. However, the barn and barnyard is different and the angel no longer is playing the trumpet. We cannot say for sure if Woodward drew another scene of another angel or if he took some creative liberties and used his imagination.
