'Fairy Lights' 
5 x 7 watercolor on paper

“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”
― John Lennon

I saw this young woman at the zoo last year. And she wasn't wearing wings (not to say they weren't there. . . You just couldn't see them ;). I loved the swish of her dress, and the colors of her sun struck skin against her dark hair. But most of all what I loved was her gesture of holding her hand at her throat. I just so happened to catch her at the right moment and I've wondered ever since what it was that made her do that? Was it some news she had just heard, or maybe this was just one of those unconscious things she did when she heard something funny, or felt uncomfortable. 

In any case there was some magic about her that day it seemed. So I thought it only fitting to give her wings.  and a few will o' the wisps for companions. :) 

This is F in my alphabet series, for Fairy! Now it's time to go on to the next.

    Crystal,
    I have missed a few in your alphabet series in recent days. With my blog in the wrong hands I was really lost. Anyways coming back here and seeing all this art you have created is unbelievable. I loved D for dancer. Those warm and cool color combos used so well, while maintaining the tonality is just genius. And I believe in fairies too. I do believe in magic. And who should not believe in magic after seeing this beauty? :)
