If I couldn't see out the window, i'd know it was summer.  Most people are getting out and enjoying what Mother Nature provides, instead of blogging.

I stumbled across this image today while taking a painting break -- i painted this woodland fairy (16" x 20") for my daughter-in-law a couple of years ago.  It's very similar to a painting i saw elsewhere, and although i had kept the artist's name for reference, i'll be darned if i can find it!  Needless to say this painting is not for sale.
