Butterfly Girl


Look who is hiding in the enchanted wood? It's the friend of the fairies and butterflies. Magic flutters around her and whispers through her emerald tresses. She is kin to Mother Nature and granter of wishes. She is the heart of the forest. Look careful next time you run among the flowers and you just may catch a glimpse...
Butterfly Girl was inspired by my week of painting elves - I have more I have yet to post. For some reason I was really drawn back the realm of fantasy last week. I believe that the magical creatures cast a few healing and creativity spells because I certainly feel more like myself than I did this time last week and I thoroughly enjoyed creating this new lady.
And, serendipity struck, for just after I had put the final strokes I discovered a new art challenge (Simon says...) requiring an opening piece featuring 'wings on things'. Well, I was spoilt for choice with all my creations last week, but I think she is my best work.
A few mistakes (which I won't mention, in case you don't spot them!). Practice makes perfect, so I shall keep at it.
There is also a slight line through the canvas where I had to scan twice to fit her in. I'm off now to google a fix...
Very mixed media: canvas paper, acrylics, some collaged papers, inktense, acrylic ink, rub on butterflies, tissue paper, rubber stamps, some trim and a few magic sparkles

  15. This is where you belong...in the mystical, magical Fairy Land. It's what you were doing when I 'met' you a year ago...and it is your strongest work...oops! I almost forgot Photoshop! You are a master at that as well.
    In any case, whenever I see the name Wright...I think of faeries...

  17. Now that I have got over the shock of how much I love it, I can think of plenty to say.

    Green and pink is my favourite combination but with lilac it is so vibrant.

    I want one of these! The girl's face is hauntingly lovely, did you paint her face yourself?

    challenge...she is perfect for such...what i love most about your art {besides your images} are the colors you work with...always such vibrant hues that create magic all in their own...i am afraid of color...hesitate to use color fo rfear of them not coming together...uniting a piece the way that you do...i couldn't agree more with lisa p above...enchanted is you...your art...your place...warm wishes and brightest blessings~
