Artist's Comments

I've decided I really need to start painting more fairies, so I'm starting a new series of fairies with a gemstone theme.

This is the Tanzanite Fairy. Tanzanite is a pretty new stone and has been officially made a new birthstone for the month of December. Which made my Mom really happy since she LOVES tanzanite, and has a birthday in December. :aww:

I love the lilac colors of tanzanite myself, and those delicate, Amy Brown style wings are really fun to paint! :D

The model reference is from the beautiful stock of and will be entered into their great Fairy contest. Wish me luck! :)

Your wild lies
Always start with wide
White lines
Summer shine
You don't like the dark
Fringed by silver sea
Always brave and pert
Sunday sun, you're up...

Thanks so much! Yep, my second series, although I still have to finish my Instrumental Elements series. I figure this will be a fun way to practice my figures, color and costume design. :)

Thanks! There are going to be quite a few of these... all the birthstones, and a few others. :)
