Original Art - Feathers

"Ascension" features two pegususes (pegusi?) rising into the night sky. It's acrylic on heritage breed turkey tail feather, and has onyx, citrine, dark blue sapphire and yellow sapphire accents. It's presented triple matted and framed in an antiqued gold tone frame that measures 8x14 inches on the inside edge. Okay, okay, I admit there is a bit of carousel inspiration going on in this piece too!

Chasing Amethyst - I would like to say that this dragon is chasing an amethyst tone pearl of wisdom, but it isn't. It's just chasing after amethyst. Maybe some day it will graduate to higher callings, but that day is not today.

There's a meme going around on social media featuring a really manky moth that looks a little like a flying tarantula. Perhaps you've seen it. I saw it and started thinking about the kind of fairy that would have wings like that moth. As I started to paint him on a turkey feather, I started thinking of the old Black Sabbath song Fairies Wear Boots, and so that is the title of this piece.

He's the sort of fairy that trips you over your own feet or who leaves Legos on the floor in the dark for you to step on. He's the sort of fairy that will give you a scare and then laugh about it. Is he a real danger? Probably not, he's mostly out to amuse himself albeit at your expense. The maximum amount of mayhem that can be achieved with a minimum of effort is more his style. He lives among the leaf litter and eats toadstools for lunch. He'll accept a dish of beer left out for him, but don't expect any favors in return.

This piece is acrylic on heritage breed turkey feather with a garnet and a marcasite accent. The inside of the weathered wood frame measures 5x7...it was weathered wood or nothin', because he's not going to put on any fine pretenses for you, he is what he is.

Golden Dragon Fliesmake off with citrine and yellow sapphire treasures. It's pretty clear who has the best one, and I'm pretty sure that some bargaining is about to occur!
