This still life painting is 24″ x 18″ painted in acrylic with oil glazes. My paintings start by the gathering phase of objects to paint. This is intuitive and I am amazed how the still life almost sets it self up in a great composition. Then as I paint a fun story forms in my mind. And you as the viewer will probably have a fun story too.

The story: Sitting among beautiful things of life this little fairy wonders about her purpose. She likes to do many things like grow flowers, make jewelry,and grow apples. She also keeps track of time for humans. Even though she has all these wonderful things in her life, she feels unfulfilled. Feeling this way is making her feel very gloomy. and when she feels gloomy everywhere she looks turns bad. Flowers lose their beauty, nothing tastes good, and humans start to be late for all their appointments. One day a miracle happened when she was trying to help someone for lost time, she passed an art supply store. You probably know the happy ending to this story. The little fairy found her purpose! She was an artist! which opened all kinds of happy moments for her.
