fairyruneSeveral years ago at faire a woman approached me and asked if I would be willing to allow her to take my picture so that she could base a painting on me. She was very polite, so I of course said yes. I never thought that I would see the results of this.
A few weeks later, she showed up again and asked if she could take more pictures. She said that she had been inspired, and wanted to do a whole series of paintings of me. I said, "Sure!"
The next summer, she showed up with a beautiful full-sized print of the first painting, "Little Fairy Blue-Spring." She was giving it to me, free of charge. I took it home and had it custom framed, because that's just really freaking cool to have a painting based on yourself.
I now have three of the four paintings custom framed and hanging on my walls.
This past season, she didn't have a print for me. "Winter" wasn't quite finished yet, but she showed me a photo of the work in progress.
I thought I would not hear from her until next summer, but this weekend I got an e-mail from her. "Winter" is finished, and she wants to meet up so she can give me my copy!
Not only is that super-exciting, but she has a website now: http://kathleensfantasyart.com/index.php In case you can't figure it out yourself, I'm the "Fairies for All Seasons" collection.
How awesome is that??
