Water Sprites

Green Water Sprite
5x7" graphite & colored pencil on bristol board

The originals for my Earth Fairies series have sold, but some printed goods will be arriving soon...

Anyway, here is the first of my new Water Sprites series. It will be another series of three, same size as the last. Water Sprites are much shier than Earth Fairies, as they don't see people nearly as often, but I've tried to get them to come out of their hiding places...

  1. Oh, I just love your water sprite!

    Thank you for your comment on my blog today - I am sorry you feel crappy too. Excercise really does help a lot - just not when it is so humid and hot. ;)

  6. Aww, she is just darling. I love the way she's hiding in between the plants and glancing over so shyly. I can't wait to see the rest of the series, water sprites are so sweet and delicate, and you certainly managed to portray that here :)
