Last Night's Painting Adventure

As I was placing things around the studio I was going through storage I pulled out a cabinet door that I rescued from a broken pantry we threw out. I thought I'd do a little painting for the garden and went into it thinking it would be a light, short painting. Well, that isn't how it unraveled and at 5 a.m. I was finishing up.
I've always been drawn to faeries, mermaids, and such as my mother had many images of them throughout our house when I was young - she still does. She had a ring she always wore that as a little girl I loved. It was a sterling silver faerie. I think of it fondly and it came to mind last evening.
 I'm still unsure about whether to leave the yellow frame plane or not. I was thinking text and squash blossums may go there, but I'd like the paint to dry a little more if I decide to do that. We'll see! :)

I'm switching over to fabrics starting this week as my fabric is brought back into the studio - yea! I have plenty of work to do with that too!
