The Desert and...the Fairy?!?

The desert and the fairy. Well, not at the same time -- everyone knows fairies lives in lush green landscapes, not arid, hot deserts!! (Although I did once paint a desert fairy cozying up to a bunny!)

First, the desert. This is Desert Visions, a scene from Joshua Tree National Park, California, USA. It's 11" x 14" / 28cm x 35.6cm:


Love those "Vast Spaces of the Southwest"!!

As for the fairy, well, I started on her months ago and then set her aside to start and finish some other paintings. Then I decided it was time to finish her!


Fairy by Moonlight -- as you can see, here we have a fairy in deep contemplation about...umm, whatever it is fairies contemplate about.😀  Size is 08" x 10" / 20cm x 25cm.

So many paintings to do, so little time!! 'Bye for now -- talk with you next time!! Stay cool!!

More Fairy Paintings


I love painting the desert, but sometimes ya jes' gotta paint fairies!

Emerald      12" x 12" / 30.5cm x 30.5cm

For some reason, the painting appears lighter here than it really is. I guess blogspot doesn't like dark artwork.

Anyway...enjoy!

Fairies in the Desert???


OK...we normally associate fairies with green, fern-filled, moist, woodsy habitats, which is entirely understandable. So what are we desert lovers supposed to do if we kinda/sorta like fairies, too? Why, we paint desert fairies!

Like this one. Size is 12" x 12" / 30cm x 30cm and is available at Crystal Fantasy in Palm Springs, CA. Stop by and check it out!

Pumpkin Fairies


I just had to do a painting of a Jack O' Lantern and fairies. As a landscape painter, this is a little outside of my realm, but it's fun to do something different once in a while. Size is 14" x 11" (36cm x 28cm).

I've considered approaching greeting card companies to see if they'd be interested in licensing rights, but I don't know...most Halloween cards are either photographs or cartoon-style illustrations. Not sure if this style would go over with that crowd.

But at least, I got it out of my system!
