FOREST FANTASY - "MOONLIT FAIRY TREE"

My omnipresent fascination with the Moon comes out again in this work, alongside my love of all things that Mother Nature has given us. To me there seems to be a Wisdom and Strength in Trees, I am always on the lookout for awesome specimens that I can share through my art.

 

I have always believed in fairies and beings from the other realm........after all, there are too many stories about them for them not to be real...........right?!

 

 I have also had the great fortune of discovering some amazing works of art in the form of Doors whilst on my travels. The Fairy Door in this painting was inspired by a photo I took recently while in Krakow, Poland

FOREST FANTASY - "FAIRY TREE"

This painting started out just as a moonlit sunset with a tree and evolved into a whimsical fairy tree with curly branches and a fairy door, then the fairy made an appearance.  Up until now I have never really tried to draw people or people-like creatures, but that is slowly changing and practice will make perfect.  They say that drawing the human form is one of the hardest things to master.........I'll get there.

 

I used retarder medium experimentally to produce the cloud-like formations and I'm pleased with the effect it created.  I love the colour combination chosen for the background, I think it works nicely.

BUTTERFLIES OF BRISBANE - "LEAFWING & LOVE FLOWER"

Flying Flowers......I have described butterflies as such and I have also read elsewhere of the same description.  I love my garden and how it provides a green magnet for these sweet wee creatures, I just can't get enough of them.

Although I have previously started a butterfly series, this new series is specific to Brisbane Butterflies and their Host Plants and originated from my discovery of a lovely lady called Jo who's in the business of Butterflies.  She grows and sells butterfly host plant as well as a lovely book called "Create More Butterflies" by Frank Jordan and Helen Schwenke.  I first discovered this book at the local Library but was unable to find any book store (online or otherwise) that had any in stock to purchase.  And then I found Jo.......so if you like this book, the only place to get it is from Jo or secondhand (I guess).
