Along came a spider by

An acrylic painting on canvas…

I painted this for the Enchanted Visions April theme.

I had a little story to go along with the painting, and now cannae find it, but basically it was that the faeries and the spiders are at war… and the faeries are always having to rescue their eggs. Sometimes they win and they get their eggs back…sometimes they don’t. I don’t that this little faerie is looking too lucky…

    Soooooooooooo good !!! I love her wings and well EVERYTHING. I must say the spider is pretty too. Love the whole story idea, this is AWESOME !! xx

  • Aww thanks Anita ;) I’m pretty happy with her in the end, but I really struggled to paint this one, really took over a month with loving and hating it haha ;) I don’t know about the spider being pretty – maybe pretty scary ;) Thanks again xx
