Description
Asleif
*****
Asleif is shy and serious, a tiny pixie, who usually prefers not to be seen. Notice here how she is rushing out of sight, although she gave us the chance to notice her this time. Maybe she likes us. An Icelandic fairy, she flits among the mossy rocks and tiny flowers, seeking out quiet patches of sunshine.

My model for this painting was a charming and adorable, tiny fairy doll I picked up at the Nederland Mountain Holiday Marlet in Nederland, Colorado. I was so inspired, I have started an acorn fairy series of paintings. The artisan who made the doll is Emily Bloomfield of Imaginings and Magical Things, and I can put you in touch with her, if you just have to have your own sweet fairy doll. They are all completely unique. Asleif is currently surprising my daughter by sneaking around the house at night and turning up in different locations, as those mischievous fairies are known to do, especially around the holidays. In keeping with the diminutive size of my model, I painted this piece as a miniature, in atc, aceo size. She fits nicely in a 4.5 by 3.5 frame, unmatted or could be matted fir a slightly larger presentation. For those interested in the original, she is available for $15 unframed and $25 in a lovely and suitable silver frame, for the perfect, unexpected stocking stuffer. Contact the artist, for photos of the fairy with frame.
