Really fantastic! This must have taken quite some time to do--and well worth it! The fairy is adorable, and she's in the ideal surroundings2

:-) Karen May replies: "Thank you Jean. This painting did try my patience a bit, so I really appreciate that you appreciate the effort."

O_O wow!
The detail is impresive! Somehow it reminds me of Monet gardens, even though this is not impresionism, but the colors, the still-but dinamic- peace of the gardens, is beautiful. I would like to see a close up of the fae if possible.
Congratulations. This is best quality art!

:-) Karen May replies: "Thank you Constanza. My intent for this picture was that it should be powerful yet peaceful, I'm pleased that you could sense this. If you want to see a close up you can visit my site www.wideskiesart.com I hope you enjoy it."
1 Oct 2005:-) Elizabeth Holgate
Crikey, all that detail! What medium did you use? And dare I ask, how long did it take? Her expression is wonderful, but it's the plant life that steals the show. So much to look at!

:-) Karen May replies: "Hi Elizabeth and thank you. I use acrylic paint and although I don't keep track of how long things take, this one was probably something around 60 hours. I'm really gald that you like it."

I love this. Is it a coincidence the title is the same as the Norah Jones song? They suit each other. Both have the same feel. Soft, playful and loving.

:-) Karen May replies: "Thanks Mary. The title is a coincidence, but I must admit that I also love the sound of Norah Jones and you're right, their moods do suit each other. I think that I try to create imaginary scenarios for others to escape to. I,m really glad that you like it. "
18 Oct 200545 The Dark Lady
Truly, a beautiful picture. You can almost feel the magic. I didn't believe until I saw that picture that anyone still made pictures like that. Thank you for bringing some of the magic to Elfwood.

:-) Karen May replies: "That's a really nice thing to say Dark Lady. Thank you very, very much."

*drools* can i please go THERE! It's so beautiful and the fairy is gorgeous! How do you do it?!?!? Wow, you're really inspiring!

:-) Karen May replies: "I'd love you to go there Rachael, that's what it's for. Tell me how it was when you get back!Thanks again."

My mother is making a baby blanket for my daughter who was born on halloween, she is making it out of fantasy pictures. I would like to know if you would allow my mother to use this picture in the quilt.
In love and light
Cassi

:-) Karen May replies: "Hi Cassi, I'm mailing you."
