Description After a light rain, in her Springtime meadow,
showered by sunlight through the dark clouds above,
In an sea of flowers, like a bright colored rainbow,
with soft silken petals, like the feathers of a dove.
With her, are butterflies, the young lady's court,
collecting her some nectar from each flowered port.
The Meadow Fairy comes dressed in lavender and blue,
dancing through her meadow of every known hue,
blending her flowers on a weaver's loom.
A bright blue butterfly floats up to her ear,
He gently predicts, "the one you will love soon will be near."
Her heart's pace quickens,
her eyes start to glitter, joyful tears flow.
He's coming, she listens,
he can't be far, his footsteps I'll know.
Around and 'round she dances,
Golden hair flying, wings spread to glide,
out over the meadow she anxiously glances,
like a flower herself, slender arms spread wide.
His heart will be mine and mine will be his,
We'll weave a carpet of color, in a meadow of bliss.
With each gentle kiss, sweet fragrance will abound,
Waltzing together forever, around and around.
But 'til then the meadow will continue to bloom,
like the new love, which is soon to be found.

How on Earth do you manage to cram so much detail into your pictures? It takes me an A2-sized piece of paper just to do 1/3 of the detail you have in your art... what size of paper do you use? And your skill with watercolours is unbelievable!

Hi James,

I've watched your work with admiration for I guess about a year on your Website. I enjoy it very much! I just bumped into one of your pieces here at DA the other day, and now I'm watching You are incredibly skilled at watercolors, but perhaps my favorite pieces are your pen and ink "Stick-men" or "Ents".

Now, a critique. Everything in this painting is rendered well, except the hair. Hair is more transparent than flesh. You seem to have painted the sky right up to it, making it come off flat. I believe that painting in some gradiation of blue sky "behind" parts of the hair would have given it that needed depth of color.

I hope to see more of your great paintings soon!

PS. I hope I haven't offended you. I am a very amatuer watercolorist, but a keen observer.

No, no offense taken. You make a great point. I'm glad you like my work.

ironhenry In reply to yaamas [2005-01-16 05:34:58 +0000 UTC]

I really do. I think its top-notch! I see it as an incredibly competent and consistent cross between Cicely Mary Barker and Arthur Rackham. Two of my all time favorites. I'm a big fan of faeries and the golden age of illustration. Your stuff is incredibly innocent and sweet. That must come from within you. I'm sure its not in me, at least not all the time. Anyway, I'm a great big fan of your and I hope to own several of your originals some day.
