Original artwork description:

The wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands is often portrayed as a romantic part of Scotland. This is not at all strange given the stunning unspoilt nature with rugged mountains, deep blue lochs and empty glens where majestic Red Deer rule the hills and Eagles rule the skies. Due to the ever and fast changing weather the Highlands have a mystical touch. One moment you see the hills, the next they are gone. Sunny spells and dark shadows move over the hills and the white snow capped mountains in winter give the Highlands a sparkling touch.

A sudden strong wind has caught this fairy out! She clings to a thistle, waiting for the wind to drop.....a hazardous place of shelter for such a delicate creature. I hope her wings do not get torn!

This painting has been bubbling away in my head for many months. I got as far as drawing it out in my sketchbook a few weeks ago but I still kept pushing it to the back of my mind, just not feeling it. I began a different painting last week but suddenly this one came right to the forefront of my mind and I could ignore it no longer. I'm now getting back to the other one I was working on before I was so rudely interrupted....fairies can be so demanding sometimes! 😁
