Bramble Rainbowtree

Half coloured, thank you to gottheshot friend and fellow bubbler for the idea!

I have also a softer pink version, I would really appreciate some feedback as to which version you like the best, thank you :) 

Original drawing, please note the actual rainbow that appeared on the drawing from light coming in through the trees outside the window of my studio, hence her name…. Bramble Rainbowtree…. she throws her arms skyward reaching to the heavens above… spots, stripes, flowers and streamers are added to convey the celebration and joyfulness in her spontaneous gesture….
...Little Bramble Rainbowtree began as a little pencil drawing inspired by my beautiful niece Maya, who has the longest hair ever! This so reminds me of her, except that Maya’s hair is much more beautiful and much darker in colour.
...I have coloured Bramble Rainbowtree digitally, I hope you like this special fairy :)
...a great little vintage design for big and little girls, friends, birthdays, gifts, bedroom decor, nursery walls, etc.

Xxx

doreen01
Dreamlike!!! Splendid Karin! This is the image that can make beautiful my morning!
Shanina Conway
Both are wonderful but I love these tones but then I’m not really a pink girl lol!
MelodyMoss
Hello Karin. This is a lovely piece. I especially like the softer pink version as it gives the picture a more old style feel. It reminds me of my childhood and the little fairies that were on my bedroom walls. Thanks for sharing this. :-)
micklyn
So special! I like the more contrasty version best, she is such a gorgeous little fairy!! Love the dotty flowery stripey background, too!
sunshinesal
This drawing is so beautiful, the rainbow a little miracle, especially as Maya’s middle name is Pelangi,which means RAINBOW…...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before Maya was born her Mum’s tummy was lit by a rainbow thru the window…........
So so love the more vibrant colours as young ones focus on the brighter colours, and oldies can see them better lol
Karin Taylor
replied
aw heck mum, i had now idea that Pelangi meant rainbow… geesh!! even more special hey…. there’s an assortment of exclamations going through my head right now, including a few bloody hells…and other words… lol… that’s just pretty amazing. ... thanx so much…hope you and dad and everyone had a special day… and you’re feeling better mum xoxox luv karin lou xox

Karin Taylor
replied
dear Tania, thank you for your lovely response… i would love hair like hers and a special dress like this, but most importantly the wings and socks are the things i covet most!!! hugs and thanx :) xx
Di Edwards
This is gorgeous Karin. I prefer this one. It has a little more vibrancy and yet is still soft and sweet in your usual style. Just lovely!
Karin Taylor
replied
Di, so very kind of you, and much appreciated knowing which one you prefer the most….thank you so very much :) x
Renee Dawson
I like the one you posted here the best Karin. It has really nice contrast. Gorgeous piece of art dear :)
Karin Taylor
replied
Renee, much appreciated, thank you… most people felt that too….thank you so vry much for the encouragement! :) x
MoonSpiral
Yeah, the one you posted pops out at you more. I do like the softer tones, but I think this one is more eye-catching. Either way, what a beautiful work that makes me happy!!!
Karin Taylor
replied
thanx so much Tammy, sometimes you just can’t see for sure what one is best… so i really appreciate your advice… I like the softer too, but brighter works well for the online community… perhaps the more subtle version would work better in person at a newsagent or something. I think if i had a choice.. i might choose the softer one for a little girl.. but i’m sticking with the one that’s up already..thanx again !! :) x
Naomi O'Connor
Karin, this is glorious!
Karin Taylor
replied
thanx so much Naomi, and i also really appreciate hearing which version you like the best, most people went for that one…so i’ll stick with it…thank you again! :)
Naomi O'Connor
I think I like the brighter coloured one….so hard to decide though. Post both!!!
barnsis
I almost missed this, it was at the end of a page and when I switched it went to the top of the page I had just closed. I love it. the shape of the falls on the dress matches the curl in her hair, what a great combination, the hair and socks are just adorable and all of the daises floating around her make her like a fairy princes. Excellent.
Karin Taylor
replied
Hi byron, oo lucky me then that you got to see.. phew! that’s right, yes… the hair and dress just the same sort of shapes/swirly curly things… so happy you really like….and the socks too… so cool…so great, thanx so much :)
Barbara Glatzeder
ADORABLE!! I love all the details, and your signature style colouring is a show, but those stockings, those stockings!!! it’s a delight xxx
Karin Taylor
replied
hehe… this comment made me smile and smile and smile some more….. we both have a thing for stripey colourful stockings and pirates….ahaaarrrrrr xxx thanx so much barbara :) )
L K Southward
Oh Karin I love this one, one of your finest pieces for sure!! :)
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you so very much LK, it’s great to see you, and it means so much, because you are such an incredible drawer and artiste! :) x
kjgordon
that rainbow spoke to you…..there is deep meaning in that rainbow…........
The pink version is softer in color….....so I guess you know my choice…........
Karin Taylor
replied
thanx every so much kj, i know you have a special affinity with the rainbow too… thank you.. did you read above, that when Maya (my niece who inspired this) was in her mumma’s tummy, a rainbow came in through the window and rested upon her… just like in the pencil drawing when i took a photo yesterday, the rainbow entered through the window and onto the page, i think it’s a very very special thing…. a sign of some sort… thank you again :) x
Mui-Ling Teh
This is so beautiful Karin; so springy! Is it spring over there now? Love it!

Ingz
so happy and beautiful dear Karin, it takes me quite a while to take all the detail in…..which is something i think is wonderful about your work xxxx i love the title too xxx big hugs to you my friend xxxx
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you so much Ingz, there was a lot of detail in this as you noticed, even though the subject is rather simple, still very time consuming and detailed work… i did so enjoy putting the colours together, and watching her emerge as the coloured version… sorta coming to life if you know what i mean, hugs and thanx xoxoxoxo
BlueKnot
Adorable; I like this more vivid version best :-)
Karin Taylor

Trish Woodford
I absolutely love it, what little girl doesn’t like to dress up as fairy and twirl around dancing. Really wonderful work Karin, my vote is for this version, love the brightness :)))
Karin Taylor
replied
that’s right Trish, i think most little girls love to imagine at some stage or other they are a fairy, or that they can see the fairies themselves…. so happy you like this one, and thank you for letting me know which version you prefer too :) x

lacitrouille
The details and colours are an absolute delight. I especially love the ribbons on her legs and feet, her splendid hairdo and faity like clothing and wings. Her pose is especially sweet. Wonderful work as usual Karin. :)
Karin Taylor
replied
thx so very much Josette… i would like a pair of stockings/socks like these…and a dress and the wings…i’d get around with my magic wand in the garden under the Mulberry Tree and pretend i was a fairy all day long….well, at least that’s what i used to do when i was about 7!! haha… hugs xoxo

Lynsye Medalia
Sooooo cute!! Lovin’ the little stars on the wings and the antenae! You know, there’s a site on the net that is a Fairy Name Generator. It gives a 3 part name based on your first and last. Before reading your description, I thought for sure that’s how you had found her name (My maiden name was Bramble Yewtree, now I am Bramble Yewfly LOL) But, I plugged your name in and you are definitely a naughty fairy! LOL Hex Goblinglitter :)
Karin Taylor
replied
yes…haha….i stuck in a different name to my own…. and came out with Bramble Rainbowtree…..lol…i did use the generator!! i didn’t like Hex Goblinglitter one little bit either… you caught me! :) xx
Karin Taylor
replied
ps…than so much! x
Poun

Karin Taylor

thx Poun…real nice of you….appreciate it very much :)
georgiegirl
Gorgeous!!!! I love her stockings and her hair and her gorgeous wings and dress… like a gypsy fairy!!! So beautiful :D
As for the colouring… I love her just as she is! But just for curiousity sake, have you tried using the background of the softer one (on the side near the groovy sketch) to go behind this brightly coloured fairy? That would look nice too… :D xx
Karin Taylor
replied
thanx so much GG… so happy you like the little gypsy fairy…i hadn’t thought of trying a softer background with the more brightly coloured fairy…that is a nice idea too…..arrgh…so much cutting though… i think i’ll leave as is for now…but i’ll keep it in mind, in case anyone would like it done that way :) xx
Jacky
So lovely :) very beautiful work Karin !
