This is a water faerie getting her first drink of the morning. The dew always feels so refreshing.

Very nice! I especially like the design of the wings, and the leaves, they're very life-like. Also the background colours give the whole a 'morning' look.

Lovely use of colour, it gives the picture a very peaceful mood. Her wings are beautiful, and you did very well on the leaves. Unfortunately my computer (I'm almost certain it's my computer that's the culprit) makes the grass' edges jagged. :'(

Very nice! The mood of the picture is so peaceful, which the colors help a lot with that. Also the leaves really help put her size into perspective. Your colors look beautiful and soft in this piece too!

1 Valarie ´FaerieLight´ Connell replies: "Again, Thank you so much. I sat down when I got my watercolor pencil set and she is what came of them. 12 i gave this one to my brother for x-mas, he really liked her."

I love the branches that are growing out of the fairy, and the markings on her body. Also, the scene you've created gives a strong feeling of serenity in nature, and the "refresh" that nature goes through every morning. Good work with the colouring, and the beautiful subject.

1 Valarie ´FaerieLight´ Connell replies: "Thank you very much. Your wonderful compliments are dearly appreciated. I love to think that life is truly this simple and good. We make it some much more tougher then it truly needs to be. 12"

Ooohhh,this is so lovely.

You're good!

I like the pattern on her leg, and her wings are beautiful. The only big big big problem here is the lines! Do you have a problem with your scanner? your computer? Whatever it is, repair it at once!

1 Valarie ´FaerieLight´ Connell replies: "Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I am sorry about the lines, but it did this because it had to brought done in size. The original full size scan is fine. And if I wanted to rescan this one, I couldn't anyways because it is a 1000 miles away with its new owner. Thanks for stopping by."

Beautiful, it feels warm with the purple sky and the cosy colours....

I just like how the hole picture is just placed together with a sort of a relaxing moment...

Keep it up Jo 2

Cool pic! Most of all I love leaves!

:-) Valarie ´FaerieLight´ Connell replies: "Thank you very much I was testing out my new watercolor pencils when I did this one. My brother has her now."
