Sometimes, when I am feeling blue, a variety of humorous Faerie characters pop into my mind. They like to wear theatrical costumes, and pose in comical positions as if they are trying to cheer me up. As I doodle them in my sketchbook I can't help but giggle and smile. Here are two of them which I have recently put into one of my Moss Forest/Garden settings.
Despite wearing genteel clothes they do not take this too seriously...if you click to see the larger image you may notice that one stockinged foot of the lady and the hem of her dress is moss-stained. This is often the state of my own clothes, knees and elbows grass-stained and clothes peppered with burrs from crawling through undergrowth in the garden to peek into tiny secret worlds...
What a wonderful series...moss and ferns...I can never get enough! I particularly like the bird you have sitting on the man's head, his expression is priceless!
