Angels & Fairies

As a little girl, I was always drawing angels and fairies. I heard that some people could see angels and fairies -- but I couldn't. So I drew them, instead. The angels had long flowing blue dresses and of course, she had a wand with a star on top. Her large wings were see-through, and in my mind, she was beautiful.

The fairies, on the other hand, had short little whimsey dresses and their wings were tiny. I'll never forget, many years after I had already become an artist, a very precise literal man saw my angels and quite matter-of-factly told me, "The wings are too small and could never support the weight of the fairy to fly." I could not believe he took my fairies so seriously. My reply to him was , "Don't worry; they just flit around; so they're quite all right." That was a long time ago, and now I paint all kinds of SOULFUL ART, whether they are ABSTRACTS, LANDSCAPES, OR SPIRITUAL ART or SOULFUL HEARTS.
