Description When we lived in Virginia, our house had a matching pair of forsythia bushes that were taller than I was. In the spring, my cousins and I would cut long branches and twine them into crowns.

So here is the forsythia fairy, sitting in a crown of flowers.

The paper has an annoying tooth, I couldn't figure out how to scan it without getting that strong texture showing through.

11 x 14 watercolor on paper

I've always loved forsythia ... and you may find it annoying, but I think the texture adds to the piece
