Hell hath no fury like a confined fairy.

A pretty straightforward interpretation this week. This little guy is as mad as a hornet. I hate to think of the curses and plots for revenge that he is cooking up for his captor. I have never viewed fairies as sweet delightful little creatures. They have always been more mischievous and tricksy in my imagination. Perhaps we should offer him some honey as a gesture of friendship and set him free in the clover patch before he explodes.
The jar is beautifully done. Maybe he needs a girl fairy to keep him company! Are you familiar with "Photographing Fairies"? Both the book and movie are excellent.
ReplyDeleteSally!
ReplyDeleteI love your little fairy! The jar is awesome too...I wish that I had seen it before I finished my 'confined mermaid,' then I would have been able to put her in a fish bowl by using your wonderful method of rendering glass as an example! :)
Btw, thanks for your kind comment at the blog.

Wouldn't want to open that jar to close! Great work on the Jar. Well done illustration :D
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks for the nice comment you left. I just had to see what you came up with.
Lovely little watercolor, I like your view of a fairy as a less delicate creature, this little guy looks like he could do some damage!
ReplyDeleteGreat work with watercolors here. I'm very impressed. I really dig all the work you have posted here. Thank you for posting it and also for checking out and commenting on my work.
ReplyDeleteSally, somehow I missed this one - glad I checked, he's so cool, love his expression and wings - Yes bring on the honey quick!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant... wow you jar is so lovely. Great job. Now let the fairy out because I worry this won't end well for you ;)
