quietly
deeply
she sat
until the light of the candle's flame
reminded her of her own light

i came across a sketch i did a while back:
I let it inspire this painting
what the first photo does not show is that there is an iridescent
gold aura around the fairy and the candles flame, oh well

thank you for a wonderful month Alaya!

ReplyDeleteHi Tammie,
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when an old sketch inspires a new work! Love the poem and how the aura envelopes the fairy.
How wonderful to revisit old work and gain fresh inspiration ~ she wonderful ~ and I can sense the shimmer of the candle, even though the photo fails to convey it. Beautiful. :)

ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I think both the sketch and the final painting are very charming. I love the gentle warm hues.
ReplyDeleteLovely painting and wonderful words!
ReplyDeleteToday is "Michaelistag", the day of the Arcangel Michael and of all angels.
Every soul has in the inner heart the "Godslight". Sometimes the soul does not feel it, but it is here always.
she is perfect, Tammie. She instills peace and looking deeper into this i sensed many kindred elementals are attracted to your pieces :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful and peaceful! Love the warm colours here :)
ReplyDeleteYour faces are all so sweet; love the ones in the nature scenes and they all look like little angels :-)
ReplyDeleteI have finished my 29 faces, so I now have some time to visit all the participants of the challenge :-)
Have a great day!

Hi Tammie! something is always lost when bringing traditional media painting into the digital world. Despite this, the sweetness and serenity of your winged lady comes across quite strongly. Thank you so much for inspiring me to join the challenge and congratulations for completing it! Cheers!
ReplyDeletePeace flows from this painting,I can feel it. I'm very attracted to candle flames at present,maybe it's the time of year and because the changing light creates a more radiant glow.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe no explanation is necessary.
Happy creating!

I love your reflection picture! The day you have posted it was my son's thirtieth birthday and I had much to reflect that day. So your picture with the beautiful fairy beside the candle means a lot to me. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, my dear Lady Montana--this painting especially moves me. Thank you so much. This fills my eyes..and my heart.
ReplyDeleteOh, your works are really wonderful!
