A very sweet fairy. Performing magic on a pumpkin requires great concentration.
Concentration? On the part of the pumpkin or the fairy?

Both I should say!
Oh you!

Fabulous artwork.
I like this one too! I don’t think it shows as well as it should (my fault), but it is still nice. Two tone orange – so bold!
Thanks,
Elephant
There is so much about this image that is absolutely gorgeous that I don’t know where to begin. The vibrant orange certainly grabs the attention but the shaft of light around the fairy is glorious. Her jewels too!
I could go on but yet again I am indebted to you for sharing this with us. Many thanks indeed.
I am glad you like it – I know I say I like them all, but this really is a stunning piece of work! It pleases me every time I see it!
Thanks,
Elephant
I love the old-fashioned pictures of fairies!
This could almost be a modern fairy tale illustration Nice to see you again Julia!
Hi Ho,
Elephant
Just found your blog and I think I’m going to like it a lot! I’ve just gotten back into reading children’s books, especially the ones with awesome illustrations. Thank you for posting these!
Oh my, I hope you are happy!
Thank you,
Elephant
This is a beautiful picture. The book must be pretty incredible.
The book is nice, but this artwork is from the inside the front cover – inside the back cover coming soon! And the cover itself is similar, but the illustrations in the book are entirely different – nice too, but not so amazing as this!
