Woodland Dance



What to do next after mermaids - I wanted to do something fun and imaginative and above all I wanted to use color.  
I honestly do not know how this painting began but I like how it turned out.



I began with my three fairies and slowly added more and more to the picture.

Three fairies in different positions.

I added more details to fairies blocked in the mushroom and used ferns as background.

Added varying heights of flowers.

Yellow cinquefoil, purple violets, red poppies and two woodland lady slippers.

Yellow cinquefoil and a bright red poppy.

I began to add leaves.

Finally I added a red ribbon to complete the picture.
