Faerie Enchantment

New Prim Glitter Illustrations!I have been working on a new series of paintings which I refer to: mixed media glitter prim! These paintings start on masonite board and are layered with either vintage piano paper, vintage receipts or scrapbook paper.Then I hand draw an illustration onto it using a pencil, then re-lined w/a darker charcol pencil, painted, re-outlined, glazed, glittered and re-glazed.In this picture I was inspired by Elizabeth Gordon's Butterfly Babies Book from the 1920's. I created a piece with cupcake chic colors, some brights, grunge and light distressing. I call her: Miss Marcy Moonfaires, whose a fairy from Starlight Gardens just outside Illuminaria City. Marcy is on her way to the Annual Butterfly Masquerade Ball held at the Beverly Wistica Conservatory at 7pm til Midnight, when the Celestial Sprites of Havenwood set off the midnight fireworks and special light show....
The next painting in this series is The Halloween Carnival! In this picture you will meet two girls named Lilly and Darcy, come join them as they enter the magical Halloween Carnival located on the grounds of Pennywicke Farms in Hollow Bridge. This year Lilly went as a Carnvial Wizard and Darcy as The Pumpkin Hatter, she is a huge fan of Wonderland and Halloween, so she mixed the two themes together. This year the Halloween Carnival will have a surprise Candy Land Parade which will start off with the dragonfly light show w/music by the Spider String Quartet!

This Painting I was inspired by a bit of folk art/country, mixed w/distressed prim and pastels, I call this one: Hollows Eve Costume Party!
Everything can happen on Hallow's Eve...That's why Maude and Tabitha are going together to the Hallow's Eve Costume Party at Waverly Hall. Rumors have it, that Waverly Hall is haunted by several ghosts, the most popular are Sophie Carlisle, a socialite whose family owned the property for 200 years and Percy the Wizard, who owned the land before the Carlisle's, his Wizarding family had it for nearly three centuries before losing it to Mr. Toliver Carlisle in a debt, or that's what legend has it. Rumor also states that Percy's family went into hiding as the Carlisle's...
