"Violet Faerie"
11"x17"
acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board
The Violet Faerie can be found hovering above the grass or in shady
groves where violets bloom in the spring. She is the guardian of the
violet flowers and carries within her essence the magical energies and
spiritual vibrations that the tiny purple flowers do. If you ask her
permission before you gather the first violet you see in the spring, she
may grant you a wish. Be sure to thank her if your wish is granted by
leaving a new penny for the violet plant, or better yet, a small
fertilizer spike. If you can coax her to appear to you she may be useful
in healing a headache or dizziness. If you are feeling temperamental and
having trouble sleeping, meditate upon the Violet Faerie and she will
soothe your mind and bless you with sweet dreams. Her delicate wings spread out behind her as she slowly moves her wand
through the softly scented air. The crystal tip glows slightly within the
crescent moon wand which mirrors the violets' association with lunar
aspects and water. She waits tentatively to see if you will speak with her,
or if you will move too quickly and never get the chance. My charming teenage friend Erin was the model for this piece, very much
a young fey herself. The wand looks very much like her own made of copper
and crystal. You can also see this young high school athlete lending her
likeness to The Maiden Huntress.
