Ignition

This is my slightly belated challenge painting for this month's girlsjustwannapaint.blogspot.com, and the theme was "Magic".  The fairy spirit is an hommage to a favorite illustration on an old card, who is inspired out of two dimensions to re-ignite a candle of hope in my studio during this cold and snowy New England Winter....   You GO Girl!!!



This piece was started in colored pencil, on a very textured panel of gray pastelboard,  and finished with acrylics;  The camera interestingly saw through some of the top layers of pigments, but the "gist" of the thing is still there, stay warm folks.
