"A Midsummer Night's Tea"

Just popping in to share the latest piece, a hand painted, birch wood tea chest or treasure box (with removable dividers)....

I began painting this one on Midsummer's Day, and completed it today, which as it happens is International Fairy Day!

Such a fun piece to paint, and I hope it brings a little *fairy magic* to its new home...

Acrylic on birch wood, finished with a clear, acrylic varnish. Signed and dated on the bottom by the artist (me). Measures 9" x 8 1/2" x 4 1/2".

$285 + shipping and insurance, which will vary by location. Available on a first-come basis, by emailing me at carolee@kingofmice.com . UPDATE ~ SOLD.

Thanks so much for taking a peek, and I'll be back very soon with new work!

Unknown said...: That fairy-box is so adorable :) I'm shore fairies celebrate all night long in the midsummer's eve. I also painted fairies on Fairy Day. It's nice to visit your blog again. I always find new inspirations.

Much love and light

Commissions

I accept a limited number of commissions each year, on a very selective basis, with the understanding that the painting process can be a walk down an unknown path - as much for the artist as for the commissioner. I work best, and most successfully when creating freely, and with minimal direction, and find that most pieces evolve of their own accord - leading me on a sometimes unexpected, but always magical journey.

If you are comfortable with this, and interested in a commissioned piece, please drop me a line at carolee@kingofmice.com for terms and time frames. :)
