Artist's Comments

MizzDraconia is the wonderful model used for this picca. It would not be what it is without her wondrous costumes and beautiful pose.

Her name is ancient and one this poor artist cannot pronounce as it sounds much like the whisper of butterfly wings on the wind. 'She' is the Moth Queen and in her wake follows a powerful magick that is carried forth by the velvety wings of her children. Moths wings spread tales of her beauty by night, while butterflies sing of her majesty by day. Adore her for she carries with her the knowledge and mysteries of night and day, of sun and moon, of life and death.

Medium: Watercolours, coloured pencil, acrylic ink.

Original Size: 12"x17"

This is stunning Michele!
I love the earthy palette in this piece.
The little trails behind the moths is a lovely touch also - like they're whooshing & swirling around her!
I don't know how you do it, but each piece you paint is the embodiment of magick & wonder.

*sighs again*

Each time I see her I cannot help but sigh. She is so . . . . pretty sounds so insufficient . . .

Her colours are gorgeous, her pose, the background, the magicks, the moths, flutterbyes, the 'shrooms, the details (as usual) of the bark, grass . . . her clothes . . . shall I go on . . .

*sits back to gaze at the pretty and sigh some more*

She is the earth beneath my feet;
Breath of the divine.
She is the Mother of creation;
The fire that lights my soul.
She is me.
