Dryad; The departure of Autumn and arrival of winter Recently someone emailed me an image painted by a woman fantasy artist who has clearly used this painting as her template and inspiration, the only change is she reversed the image, simplified the tree and put a tight black dress on her. This is flattering and I dont mind, but I’d really appreciate it if people who use my work as a source would be fair and kind enough to credit me and the original painting. As this image was published in a 2007 goddess calendar, its easy to document which was created first. Thats my rant, now heres the good stuff: The Story: / “The nights are growing cool, leaves swirling from the trees. A few of the hardiest wildflowers adorn meadow and hedgerow. I prepare for the arrival of days bleak with driving rain, nights laced in ice, gather a few remaining flowers whose faded scent will serve to remind me on cold nights of summer’s long days of sun and heat. My home is a large, ancient oak with low gnarled branches and deeply furrowed bark. Mirroring a full crown overhead, her thick roots delve down and radiate outward, keeping us anchored and safe in stormy winds. I gather autumn wildflowers for my bower inside the oak, where I’ll sleep sound as a baby in the womb awaiting rebirth into the world of light. All summer fragrant blossoms such as these adorned my hair and gowns, sunny days and sultry nights spent with Pan, the satyrs, nymphs, and my sister dryads. Now they’ll lay crushed and fragrant beneath me, bringing sweet dreams of what is to come.” The tree in the background is the sketch of an ancient oak growing about 5 minutes from my home. Its documented as being over 200 years old and in the early 1800’s a treaty was signed beneath it between the local Pottawattamie tribe and invading settlers. Didn’t do much good as a decade later most Pottawattamie were ‘relocated’ to a reservation in Nebraska. The oak is so broad at the base that several people holding hands cannot encompass its trunk. This painting depicts who lives inside it! Like dryads everywhere, she dosn’t care about politics or the human world, unless it threatens her tree. Lucky for her this oak is now a landmark and well looked after. Text and image copyright Helena Nelson -Reed 2007. Please dont use without written permission.

Airbrushed and mixed media My Work Was Featured In Fantasy Art / (Thanks Everyone) Read the Collaboration of Written Work by Tony Hedger Part 2 of 2 / The way to get there is many in choice, / But a good first step is the inner voice. / By air, or water, by earth or fire, / Fairyland is your hearts desire. There you are free, all you can be, / And everything is real. / You could sit for a while, / Upon a sundial, / And chase the rays of the light, / You could float on the air, / Without any care, / Or fly with butterfly wings. / Buzz with the bees, and fly through the trees, / Float down with the falling leaves. You could go on a boat, / Through sparkling waters, / Made out of the shell of a tortoise. / Sit in the ring where the fairies all sing, / Drink, dance, fairy fling. / Diddle on the fiddle, play fairy in the middle, / Sparkle, shine, drink buttercup wine. / T’is close, you must believe, / Just follow the voice from within. Excerpt from poem, To Journey to Fairyland / By Joannda Riche Created in Photoshop, hand created images and mixed media.

Air is representrd by the breath. Fire is represented by the ball of light, which symbolizes your dream, your passion.

My apologies for having no originality in flower choice but as you can see, I love my plain old dandelions! Anyway, in this image there are 3 stages of flower from the same plant, the bud, the flower and the post-flower fairy which to me are like 3 generations. I chose the layers and treatment to reflect all 3 generations by being aged yet still bright and not faded. / Have sold 1 x laminated print.
