This illustration captures a beautiful fairy and her dragonfly friend basking in the afternoon sunshine amid the cattails. . I had always wanted to illustrate a fairy, and this was my first attempt to do so.
What is unique about this piece is that it was my second attempt to paint solely in watercolor. The background didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it too, so I ended up coloring over it with color pencil.
