I LOVE this little fairy and her butterfly friend!
It took me several days to come up with an idea for this one. My Weekly-ish Challenge partner gave the challenge of "Garden Boots" this time. Garden Boots??? What was I going to do with that?!
I wrestled with it... looked for interesting photos of garden boots online... found photos of me wearing my pink boots in my garden... saw lots of images of garden boots used as flower pots...
Nothing stuck... I sat on it a few more days, glad for the "ish" in our Weekly-ish Challenge.
Then I found this cute little statue. It's only 2"-3" tall and meant as a decoration in a potted plant.
I love it when I am completely blank for a painting idea then a random muse shows up with a fabulous idea that works.
Someone should really write a children's story about this little garden fairy and her friend the butterfly. I have so many questions about this image that I want answered!! Who is this fairy? Does she have a name? Where does she live? Does she know the butterfly? Why does she wear boots? Is the butterfly okay? Do they realize they both wear the same colors? Do they communicate with each other? Will they fly together?
