Christmas Faerie 2008

This year I wanted to paint a Christmas Faerie in action. I wanted to create something with some contrast and depth. I like this one way better than last year's faerie, mostly because she's doing what faeries do best... lighting up our world.

I looked up at the big evergreen in my yard on a cold winter's eve and there she was, lighing the top as though she was making a real star touch it's very tip. Snowflakes just begin to drift through the sky. A little squirrel in the tree is witness. You'll notice that she is warmly dressed, for a fearie! It has been an early winter, and it was a cold night when I had this vision.
