Description
The beauty of fuchsia pink and purple, the magic of sparking snow and wings, like a vision from Victorian times! Snow fairies in finery alight atop a blue-spruce tree.
As fairy art, the paintings also speak to me of the love between a mother and daughter, a mentor and girl, or between sisters. I believe these paintings to be about affection, protection and tenderness.
In the first week of February 2010, a light snow fell upon my town. Two of my small vinyl dolls braved the snow to balance on a blue spruce tree for photos. I created new faces and made costume changes.
The floral dress was designed by Tracy of sewmanydreams from an MHD doll pattern. I changed its colors to my favorite colors of cranberry and blush rose. For the child's violet outfit, I was inspired by various ballet costumes. Her cap is a reproduction of an antique doll hat in a Theriault doll catalog.

Such kind words, Laurel, for which I'm thankful! I had imagined that my painting style would become more "loose" as I aged. Instead, I found new joy in looking closely for details. Another mystery on the journey of life . . .
