Description Secret of the Sprite

Sprites being creatures of the element water are found in places where it is serene and cool. They like to play with nymphs or torment butterflies, but the butterflies don’t really mind. Sprites are the most creative of all fairies and are often muses, artists, and poets. Sprites have one very important job, which is changing the colors of the trees’ leaves in autumn. They take great joy in painting their enormous canvas with bright paint in every shade between red and yellow.

Thank you. That was a fun piece to do. I had the picture in my head for a long time. And the fairy in the front just fit right in.

Wonderful description to fully understand your work of art! With every sentence, i understood every detail that you added in the manip! I especially like the first Sprite (in the lower left). She really looks like a fairy and her expression pretty much summarizes what you described and what I would imagine if I'd encounter them in some dream world. It is almost like a window to their world and she is telling the on-looker to see, to enjoy but to not tell anybody and keep the fairy-ness of them intact! Wonderful!

I haven't really put much thought into that yet. I really want to illustrate my mothers fairy tale that she wrote. I keep hinting it to her, but we will see! LOL Thanks!

What I really like most of this work is that the lovely sprite turns to us, viewers and gestures us to be still because of the secret.....that adds a lot to this for me. As a whole I love the depth, the sprites in different sizes, the colors so warm. A fav Gina!

She loves it! She was my helper! She told me where she thought the little sprites would go and the falling leaf too. She was so cute and wanted to make a picture too, so I loaded Paint Shop Pro which isn't as hard on her computer. I showed her where the paint brush was and how to start a new picture and she painted (digitally of course) 8 pictures before I knew it. I had to pry her fingers off of it to get her into bed. Kind of like her mom that way I guess. LOL
