Wanted to do mixed media and thought of how I could use the media for different subjects best! Well this is the way that I came up with! Watercolours Coloured pencils and ink! Had quite some fun!

Can you spot all 5 pixies?

What a stunning and detailed piece! It caught my eye as soon as i saw the thubnail. I love the colors and all thats going on. It has a very well ballanced composition. The plants on the left side are amazing. The fairies are a nice touch. The clouds look a little solid but dispite that this is an amazing piece. I love it! Thanks for your comments back at my gallery as well.

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "I seem to have a little trouble with clouds. My intention was to have a much more dark and threatening quality to this peace, but it seems I'm restricted to sweet nice and what not.. so.. there's more barriers to cross! Thanks for your sweet words!"

All of your pictures are good, but this one is my absolutely favorite! I like the composition and the subtle tones of colors you used here, and all the wonderful details (sure, I spotted all 5 pixies! I even thought there are 6 of them! 2) - But the thing I like the most about the picture is this wonderful enchanted atmosphere... Really, really beautiful.

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "6??? Am I that stupid? OMG *runs off to look again, runs back* glad you find the atmosphere enchanting, I fond that is one of the hardest things to do, catch a mood in a picture!"

Great job! I love the whole creepy feel to it. There's just one thing that kinda bothers me...Maybe the pixies shouldn't be outlined, or perhaps you should outline everything else darker to match the pixies. For example, the one pixie who I suppose is sitting on the fern looks to me like its floating in the air.

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "I see hwat you mean and it does concern in particular that fairy. Though I'm not touching this one anymore, though I appreciate the thgouht confirmed.. I was bothered by it too! Glad you like the rest though! I was goinf=g for an approaching storm kinda look, but I didn;t think I really archieved that... creepy comes close enough 2"

Seems to be nightfall in Fantasia. Very well depicted, especially the moonlight on the water. I like how you added the little fairies. There are 5 of them, right?

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Glad you like the moonlight.. I'm never sure about reflections of moon or sunlight for that matter. and yes there are 5!"

I really like this piece, its very soft and inviting.... Can you tell me how to comment on comments??? Pleeease???
28 Oct 2004:-) Sebastian jaraden lunow
Yep, i spotted them.. All and all this is a very inviting landscape, even if i hate pixies.. This picture rocks.. I love the colour and the detail you've put into this piece! Very nicely done! Amazing work here, keep it up!

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "*grins* The pixies were added on an afterthought because I wanted to make sure it was accepted to elfwood.. since then I founf enough 'scapes' without any kind of elfishness which are decalred fantasy scapes so I will keep to my original minds picture next time! It was a fun experiment though!"

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "*grins* pixotoia is nice! I'll hire you when I'm at a loss of titles next time 12thanks for coming by!"

I don't even know what to say, this is so... No words for it.
I would say beautiful, but it sounds too light or something. I hope you understand what I mean, I think I'm bit confused right now...

I love this one.
