Tag As FavoriteComment		when i was in my first years of primary school, one night there were magical 'fairies' out in the backyard. looking back, i guess it was just kids with strong torches shining them onto the low clouds, but at the time, i was convinced it was magic, and my parents took me outside to see them. when i woke up the next morning, a book was at the end of my bed, apparently left for me by the fairies. i was thrilled. so, this picture is about not denying your inner 5 year old. being able to keep that sense of wonder and magic and playfulness is an important part of being an artist. lose that, and before long you'll find yourself a regular at tupperware parties, dressed in beige. this is a purely gratuitous picture to feed the five year old part of my brain

There’s something about this image that speaks to me. Perhaps it simply pleases my innerchild, who’s been napping on me lately. This fae’s face has such beauty, not just in the features, but in the expression. This is pure magic. I’m glad it got a mods.

speaking as someone who IS their inner five year old, this is a beautiful painting. the faery seems sad about something... mabey the loss of wonder and imagination in small children in recent years?

I like that she has dragonfly wings instead of the usual butterfly or moth wings. It is a wonderfully detail image and I admire your skills with whatever computer program you used - which, by the way, one did you use? She seems as a fairy should be; elegant, wise, mysterious. Very beautiful.

Very Beautiful! Her face just makes me feel like I have hurt or betrayed her trust. Very moving.
