I have always had a soft spot for things fantastical . . . The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever to name a few. So relished the opportunity to paint this charming Wood Nymph.
I spotted her last Summer, performing near the London Eye and found her mesmerizing. She hid behind a London Plain tree, peeking out at passers by with a twinkle in her eye. When she wasn't moving she was almost invisible against the tree.
For me, looking into the light is an optimistic almost spiritual gesture and so appropriate for this rare creature.
