Description
This is one I wasn't very happy with. You know when you have an idea for an artwork in your mind and it just doesn't come out how you want it to? I think this one turned out looking quite Amy Brown style, and I that isn't how I imagined I wanted it to turn out, but my artworks generally have a life of their own and turn out however they want to!

I LOVE this painting. I love your work so much, and I usually relate my feelings to your artwork..and one day I felt exactly like this painting and I wrote a poem about it 
I love all your paintings, I'm a big fan

The background and tree make the picture look so dry and static-y. My eyes are watering just by looking at it. However, the girl is soft-looking and pretty. It totally contrasts, which adds more drama to the picture. Very, VERY well done. <3

I think my favorite part of this piece is the tree. Maybe its just because its bare, but it looks like the branch she's holding could snap the momment a stronger gust comes up. It just reminds me of how we're so scared to leave our "safe place" but we fail to realize its not very safe at all.

A very endearing piece with a well placed background. I like the way you achieved the effect of the robe over her body.

This is really nice. I love how you drew the tree, and she looks so nervous and cute! Great hair and cool wings...I like the moth style to them.

Excellent work on the wings and the dress. This is a very interesting approach to the commonly-painted subject of faeries. I like how she's afraid to fly... Something we can all relate to.

I agree it does have a taste of Amy Brown, but that doesn't downplay your skills and creativity. I love her flowing hair. This is very romantic.

I'm glad she took on a life of her own. "Scared to fly" is a spot where most of us have been at one time or another, or at many time. You have captured the mix of boldness and timidity that we are. Beautiful.

I like this! The movement of the hair and dress is perfect. It does look a little like AmyBrown, but there are some difference in styles. You have more differing highlights and shades in here, for example there is more depth to the hair. I love the hair and the wings! And her expression is perfect, even though it is hard to see it cause it is kinda small.

you have a way with painting hair that just takes my breath away and her pose and facial expression convey the title perfectly

I'd be scared to fly too, with those little wings. I love the hair and the billowing dress. And the colors. Very autumn. Very October.
An extremely lovely piece! I think it's very nice that she has a normal body, very beautiful, without being painfully skinny.

You have a very lovely gallery Selina, i especially like this piece. The flow of her hair and dress give it a wonderful energy. It did not remind me at all of Amy Brown's work - if that is any consolation

I love the hair and the pose. Really beautiful piece. The flowing, translucent gown sets it off just right.

This is really pretty. Good concept, and I love her wings also. (p.s. you're much more talented than Amy

yes...this does have a cetain 'Amy Brown' feel to it...I think its the colors...and possibly the wings.

another gorgeous piece! I am very impressed with the translucency of her dress... couldn't imagine even attempting anything like that with watercolour....

I don't think the fairy is very Amy Brownish... she's prettier and her body actually looks proportional

I know the feeling quite well. Trust me, this piece is beautiful, and even though it might not run up to your personal standards, it's gorgeous. Your detail with the watercolor is awesome. You must have alot of patience to be able to get that much detail. The hair and the wings are my favorite part in your piece.

I like the warmth of the picture. It matches well with how I feel about the season.
