75. Magpie Fairy 18.5 x 25
I enjoyed painting this work, which I think
of as the "Magpie Fairy" because just
as the bird is attracted to bright shiny objects
which he collects, so to my fairy has been attracted
to various everyday objects. Discarded
as rubbish, or accidentally lost, she finds
them irresistible and adorns herself with them.
Obviously because she is very tiny, the objects
are depicted larger than life. I had great fun
deciding which objects may have been discarded
by humans and would be small enough and interesting
enough for a fairy to collect.
As
you can see there are many items, from safety
pins and paper clips to stamps and a bottle
top, changed from the original wording "Dry"
to read "Fey", obviously she felt
it was more appropriate, in addition to many
forest items such as acorns and oak leaves,
she has nuts for rings and of course, last Christmas's
broken 'fairy' light bulbs for earrings.Not
a traditional fairy but rather a streetwise',
happy-go-lucky, modern fairy.
