The first of a two piece series. I wanted to play around with some free-flowing knot work, structured only in the sense that it mirrors itself. I also wanted to paint butterfly wings.

Watercolor on paper, 9" x 14"

2004

Wow! Stunning! *drools* Absolutly beautifull...alright, I will now cease the ranting. The Faerie itself is beautifull but the way it blends into the design makes me want to hug my comp. screen! Ah yes, very pretty indeed! Out of all your pictures in the gallery, I think I favor this one the most. Motuba!

my god...the knot! Taking a tour, i unsuspectingly came upon this piece of dream, and, like the tour, had a hard time breathing! It's simply...breathtaking? Amazing? Creative? not enough adjectives!
