Sitting on the Toadstools
Artwork details: pencil, 6 x 8 inches (15 x 20 cm), 2005.
A very big fairy sitting on small toadstools....
Fairies are everywhere, if you know the right places to look...
You could of course try looking at the bottom of the garden, but what kind of fairy would you find there? Only one who had read all the books on what fairies are supposed to do. Unfortunately there will always be those individuals who try to conform to the way things should be. Here's one I spotted who is trying very hard to be a 'proper' fairy. And apparently that means looking very pretty and sitting on toadstools - with no consideration for her relative size and the relative weakness of whatever it is that toadstools are actually made of. Still, I suppose she's happy in some way in her mission to be a proper fairy, she's just not very good at improvising...
