Shamrock Spring ACEO

Description

It was a beautiful spring day and I was walking along watching a pair of cardinals courting. Suddenly I tripped over a large gnarled root and fell flat on my face. When I caught my breath and opened my eyes, I saw this tiny pink fairy door hidden beneath the giant root. A carefully tended garden of wildflowers was in front. Pink ribbons were woven among the flowers and a carpet of shamrock petals led to the little door. There was a festive air about the place, as if there was something special about to happen. Perhaps a party of some kind; a birthday, a festival, or maybe I had stumbled upon the setting for a fairy wedding. Something moved at one of the tiny windows and I thought it best to quietly slip away, wishing though that I could stay.

I include the above story with the ACEO art card.

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 digitally "draw" the details with a digital pen. I enhance what I perceive to be the door and then add other accessories such as the broom and lantern.
