Folk Art Fairy
Another little folk art fairy. She is only 6 1/2 inches. I love doing these because of the primitive type sculpting. They really come to life because of the painting. It is hard to paint something so small. I will get the hang of it before long. I have decided if I can paint a little rose on a tiny button. I can paint a face the size of a quarter. I laugh as I say that, because my eyes are not what they used to be. Every work area I have has a magnifying light. I never had this problem until I turned forty. I did use a liner brush for most of her features, but I think I still need to go to a smaller brush than what I am used to for a little finer detail. Live and learn!

Kim what a beautiful fairy, I adore her!!
what is it about turning 40? I now am having a harder time painting tiny details, it just crept up on me!
Kim, she is wonderful! Very ethereal and dreamlike. You did a fantastic job painting her.
I so hear you on the eye thing. I'm afraid that it is time for me to get those
bifocals. urghhh!

Very sweet fairy. I am the worst at painting faces, I usually end up applying the paint with a sharpened pencil of the same color, instead of a brush. Helps me some, but I need lots more practice. Take care.
Your little fairy is fabulous, your so hard on yourself, your work is amazing, all of it! I'm so glad I met you, and the blog thing is so much fun. Thank you so much
