-Faerie Glass

Even though I haven't really done any paintings of fairies, it seems like it was only a matter of time before it would happen. An upcoming book published by Llewellyn, titled: "Through the Faerie Glass" comes out in February.

Here was my first sketch.(This younger chipper version no longer exists, because I ended up erasing her face.


They wanted a more older-wiser and seductive fairy, so I aged her a tad.

    Beautiful. I love her expression. Very pretty and very alluring. In the sketch, I can see more of a grin on her face. I like both of them.
    You know, this is one of those times in my life - specifics aside - where certain things contribute to my survival instinct and, not that I expect it really matters, your art is something that inspires me and also gives me something to escape to. You're a fantastic artist.
    I very much admire you.

    Brilliant, I think. Great bone structure is what comes to my mind first. I like looking back and forth from the sketch to the painting. Dazzling work, you have a wonderful facet.
