I'm so happy to present you with my recent painting! I worked a very long time on it and learnt so much during this process.

The faerie represents summer, nature and life. How sad it is that no season, no living creature... in fact, nothing will last forever. She is uneasy when she finds a dead butterfly when the life around her is so vibrant: a sign of what is to come.

This painting has been done in Photoshop. It took me about two months working on it on and off. However, I wasn't alone: I'd love to give great thanks to fantastic Marta Dahlig for her guidance, inspiration and support and to my wonderfully critical husband!

You can also find WIPs in my gallery.

Thank you so much for your comments and favs in advance! :)

It's a beautiful piece. Every component is very well done and seem realistic. The choice of colors match perfectly with the summer theme, her expression couldn't be more perfect and the long eyelashes is a nice touch. Her hair blown by the wind plus the butterflies gives to it a soft and delicate atmosphere.

One thing I really like is how her anatomy and face traces discretely remind the caricature drawings which makes the piece more interesting.

I just would like to point out that the background is a little too blurry and the glow around her seems a little 'heavy'. I think would be better if the environment details were more apparent and the glow effect more soft and dispersed.

Overall this is surely a high quality work.
