Painting Roses -Paint Party Friday


This is a combination of colored pencils and watercolor.  I painted this for a friend of mine as a gift.  There's something about this piece I just love--the idea of this little fairy girl painting roses in summer delights my heart. I'm sure I've seen this sweet fae out in my garden in the early morning hours, as the dew was drying in the summer sunshine.


Here is another peek into my sketchbook--this one is called Daisy Dinner.  The drawing makes me smile because of the look on that fella's face...he's obviously really going to enjoy eating that daisy!

Have a lovely day, sweet Friends!  Happy Paint Party Friday!  I'm also linking up with Friday Sketches!

    Beth, your fairy girl painting the roses is such a gorgeous painting. You've taken an unusual view of her face and pulled it off perfectly. I love this.

    A delightful design and idea of a garden fairy visiting to add colour to our gardens. I imagine there could be another fairy to dab the perfume too.
    A beautiful idea Beth ;D
    Happy PPF to you

    This is so pretty, love her wings and her cute apron holding the paint... the colours are brilliant. The sketch of daisy dinner is pretty cute too, love that he can fly... so magical, and hopeful.
