Blue Faery -Paint Party Friday

I once read a poem which had the whimsical idea that faeries are God's smallest angels.  I rather like that idea.  This little blue faery is a frequent imaginary visitor to my garden. She's part Genie as you can see. She lives in a brown glass bottle next to the fence in my yard, where in summertime she oft comes out to play with the gold fish after dark.

This is a drawing from long ago.  I have been away from my computer for a bit, so haven't had time to scan in my latest artwork.  My reference photo was lost with a tragic crash of a hard drive years ago--so I don't have the original picture to show you--but I can tell you this, she is not only lovely, but she is a sweet and talented young woman.

This Sunday will mark two years since my sweet husband flew away to heaven.  It will be a bittersweet time.  Sometimes it seems like forever since he left us--at other times, it is as though it were just yesterday.  I am also speaking and performing for a women's retreat on Saturday.  I would dearly appreciate your prayers for my family and me.  I continue to improve daily from my surgery. 

Happy Paint Party Friday, sweet, wonderful Friends!

Faery Dress Up

This little faery fae visited my home a few weeks back.  I could not help but to draw her picture.  She is the dearest of all little faeries and I love it when she comes by for a visit.  We do many things together.  We paint leaves, dig in the garden, gather flowers, play games and, of course, dress up is a big favorite.

Have a lovely New Years' everyone!

Baby Evi's Night Out -Guest Heart Thursday

This is Baby Evi's first night out.  She and her lovely faery Mother are out for a stroll in the midnight woodlands.  It is a crisp winter night and the stars sparkle overhead like jewels.  Yet in this magical place tiny glowing snowflakes flit through the air to land softly on all who would walk this magical path.

Of course I have hidden several hearts in this drawing.

Butterfly Faery

Now and then I will be reposting some of my artwork. This piece of art is one of my favorites. The little faery is of the variety of butterfly faeryfolk who live in magical groves of bubble trees. I love bubbles. It would be so extraordinary to actually see the bubble tree groves of my imaginative dreams.
.
Indeed, one might wonder if a person could make a bubble tree crown? Are bubble tree leaves sticky? If one had enough bubble tree leaves, could one fly up into the clouds? I wonder what would happen should one happen to pop a bubble leaf? Would the bubble tree butterfly faeryfolk mind?
.
How long do bubble trees, er, bubble? Are there times when bubble trees lose their bubble leaves--and if so, do the bubble leaves float into the skies, or do they land on the ground in great foamy, sparkling bubble leaf heaps? My darling sister Clytie wrote, “More importantly, when it’s frozen, do the bubbles 'clink?'”
.
Ah, these and many other questions such as this, do cross my mind now and again. (grin)
