On Summer Nights ACEO

Description

Although it looks as if no one is home here, there is a collection of fairies inside who are waiting for the family who lives next to their tree to come outside for their picnic.
Then the fairies will gather on their porch and peer through the leaves, watching the activities below. It amuses the fairies that humans are so clumsy and earthbound, and that when they do attempt to do something that looks like flying, they always end up sprawled awkwardly on the ground. This entertains the fairies endlessly as they rock on the porch swing and sip dandelion wine. However, the fairies love babies and will often fly down to right them if they tumble.

ACEO art card, 3.5" x 2.5". This image was created from one of my photographs of a knothole in a tree, where I believe a fairy lives. I then draw and paint the details on the photograph with a digital pen. I enhance what I perceive to be the door and then add other accessories such as the swing.
