Sharing the Dreams

Sundays are the day to rest at the FFG. My traveling shoes are put away for the day so I can kick back with some coffee and dream out my window. Dreaming is how anything big and grand begins! Today (and every Sunday hereafter) we will look at other artists' dreams they have put onto the page.

This has been one of my favorite paintings for years. My good friend in high school surprised me with a beautiful canvas print of the painting and it’s been with me ever since.  I love how she is just stopped in awe over the little Faeries and they welcome her with all of their Light and Love.

Midsummer's Eve

Edward Robert Hughes

This is from a German digital artist named Benita Winckler. Her work, to me, seems to allow you to forget that it is digital media and glows with a life of its own. Very stunning.

The last one is from a painter who mixes fantasy and realism. Howard David Johnson helps us conceive of the stories we grew up listening to as being an actual history rather than make-believe with his paintings.

If you find any Faerie art that inspires you and you wish to share it with me and other readers, please send me an e-mail with the file in the form of a JPG and please remember to include the name of the piece and the artist. I like to give credit where credit is due. ;)

Take care and have a wonderful Sunday!
