    What a delightful picture to see! I can't help but wonder at whom was happier, the customer over the beautiful artwork they picked up, or the creator so happy to see her dreams on display.

    It really makes me happy for you, and I sincerely wish you continued success. :^)

    Sorry I haven't posted in a while. But in that time I did manage to get a lot of art done. I think I'm changing the way I use color a bit, at least in the paintings I do for myself. I'm having a lot more fun with color glazing.

    Nice article, Meredith! The "reality" of everday life nowadays makes fantasy so much more appreciated, don't you think? Beautiful pieces in the article as well.

    Wonderful article, Meredith! It's a little comforting to find that other artists have difficulty explaining their art form to people who aren't involved in the fantasy realm!

    3 New paintings, Art Scene International

    Sunday, March 16, 2008, 03:53 PM CST [General]

    These 3 paintings were the latest set for the book I am working on. They were all blue but I managed to make them all look different. You can see the full images on my site:

    Throne of Ravens

    Umi

    Snow Maiden

    This month I was featured in the German Illustration and Airbrushing magazine Art Scene International. Though it is in English, I suspect the text has been translated back and forth a couple times:

    New Painting - Dorothy

    Monday, February 25, 2008, 11:22 AM CST [General]

    Something that's not a fairy at all. This was a fun painting to do.

    Well, 'twas easy enough to recognize Dorothy and Toto from "The Wizard of Oz" -- which, by the way, is considered to be a true American Fairy Tale... so while not depicting an actual fairy, it is Faerie related... (Grin!)

    When the dragonsite first started in 2001 the plan was to cut out retailers and just sell the dragons exclusively via the website (hence the name :) ) the plan was very short lived though thankfully! but the name stayed, i actually like the name and think it suits the companys various dragon ranges.

    thefairysite is a compromise i think :/ it's cheesy name but so many people used to joke that with the amount of fairies released they should change the name to the fairysite... so they decided to split the dragons and fairies up.

    I would love to see your art made into dragonsite/fairysite figures rather than pacific trading, it would be great to see high quality figurines! i'll mention it on my forum because i really think your work deserves it :)

    The Dragonsite started as just that, Dragons by named artists and sculptors but they expanded with an experiment with Faeries (since they are fantasy figures and they always said they would sculpt other fantasy creatures) the problem was, the faeries took off much better than anyone could have expected and they started to take over and they became very popular and thats when people who only knew the faeries and not the earlier dragons started asking why "dragonsite"? simple really, they started years before sculpting high quality dragons, it's just that most of the faery collectors didn't know this :)

    I've just checked out your art! it's fantastic :D have Munro collectables been in touch with you regards to turning your art into figurines? your art is miles better than some of the artists they have used! (i'd better not mention any names ;) )
