Description
Fairies and elves flee the blaze started by the fire queen. Dangerous and beautiful in her fiery fury. She has taken exception to a poem written by one of the sprites and is now determined to wreak havoc on her nation.
Vengence is hers and the creatures of the invisible world will now have to learn another place to pick berries and drink the dew. Look closely into their world and you will see rebirth and joy just around the corner.
This painting started as a photograph of a piece of glass artwork created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop, Wa. It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of the overall object. The colors are vivid and alive due to the way that I am illuminating the glass art as I am taking the picture. In a way I am photographing the light as it passes through the object.
In this particular photograph I have gone in by hand and painted over the original image. Adding my own textures and visions to the shapes and colors I started with.
I have been a professional photographer for many years but it is only recently that I have been photographing glass at any level. It is such an exciting experience to discover these images. I almost feel like an archeologist as I explore a small hidden word and reveal the treasures within.
