Description Happy Fairy day everyone!!!

June 24th is supposed to be fairyday ,to read more about fairy day click here:
[link]

I wanted to do a special artwork for the holiday and i have been
working on this lovely fairy for a while now and decided to finish it
just in time for fairy day

It wasn't easy i have been sick with fever for the last couple of
days and i havent been much around DA or anywhere else
and i feel a bit overwhelmed trying to catch up with everyone
but i promise i will


I decided to do this in color because i just love flowers
and i also managed to make a tutorial a step by step
of this artwork:
[link]
i did my best with it,it's so hard making a tutorial i had to keep
reminding myself to take pics and make notes.
I wasn't planning on one but then i got asked for one
and decided to do it, i will be doing a charcoal and graphite in the future.
Sorry if my webiste seems a mess b/c i'm not feeling well i havent had
time to update my website once i feel better i will be fixing everything.


Many of you can probably guess who my model was
for this artwork the very talented fairy fantasy artist
Selina Fenech you can find her stock gallery and fellow fantasy artist Meg baker's
stock gallery here:


Colored pencils and pastels on 8x10 vellum bristol board. 2006

Take care everyone promise to catch up with everyone soon

Beautifully rendered, Katerina.

The title reminds me of a haunting ballad by Nick Cave 'Where the Wild roses Grow.' Are you familiar with this duet with Kylie Minogue?

'They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day.'

I certainly don't get a dark vibe from your piece, it is a very vibrant, beautiful and happy work.
It's just the title that reminded me of it.

Thank you tony so much i dont know the song but now i want to listen to it!!
I'm a big fan of kylie minogue especially all the hits she had in late 80's i'm surprised i never heard this song of hers.

You're welcome, Katerina.

Just a warning about the song, it's pretty dark and a bit disturbing.
Probably not what you would normally expect from Kylie. Nick Cave
likes to explore some dark themes and the song was certainly something different for her.

Katerina-Art In reply to paegarni [2006-07-06 02:58:16 +0000 UTC]

probably she wanted to try something different
she's always been happy and upbeat , she had a lot to go
through this past year with her health, hope she is doing better.

'Where the Wild Roses Grow' goes back a way. I think you are right, she needed to break out of a mold at the time.

Health wise, she'll be ok.
