Mirth
This one is painted in oils on an 18" x 24" canvas. I used my husband to model for this Greenman. He's actually on a tree in my front yard. Jim's got this great big smile. He was the only face I could use to try to reproduce the feeling and inspiration I felt when I first saw this crazy character.
There are images of the 'Green Man' all throughout Europe and the British Isles - a man with a leafy face. They were inspired by this funny fellow. He is a mossy being that grows from the bark, reaching into the trunk for sustenance, living in unison with the tree. Though you may think he's a bit of a parasite, the tree enjoys his companionship. These Green Men tend to be chatterboxes who enjoy teasing passersby!
A new painting in my new Faery series. It's painted in oils on an 18" x 24" canvass.

Harbinger Faerie
This faerie walks the first forest by moonlight, as it streams through the trees behind her. Her familiar, her friend the owl, flies towards her with a message. According to myths from many lands, the owl is the harbinger of death - a bad omen. But we know that's just myth, right! Owls are wise creatures, just like this faerie.
Yes, it's Whoopi Goldberg's face. I am a fan and felt inspired to paint that amazing face. She's an intelligent, talented woman with an incredible ability to communicate. Whoopi certainly shows great patience and diplomacy on 'the View'.
I'm not so sure she's seen the painting. I know she's not one for dresses, but I'm sure she'd be grateful I didn't paint her as a full frontal nude. If and when she does see it, I hope she appreciates the wise and powerful being she is portrayed as. She has the faerie attitude, after all.
It's painted in oils on an 24" x 36" canvas.

Playful Faeries
These two pretty sisters enjoy the spring Trillium in Sunnidale Park right here in the City of Barrie. For Faeries, these two are still quite young - around 100 years old. I would have taken them for 10 or under, wouldn't you? But that's probably why faeries are so wise...
This is the thirteenth painting in my new Faerie series. It's painted in oils on an 18" x 24" canvas.

Chill
The cool beauty of a winter's night is captured here as an enchanting Faerie looks on. Most Faerie are quite comfortable in any weather and this one is right at home in a winter storm.
