Art by Erika Taguchi-Newton
Just finished my follow-up painting to Absinthe Fairy - Perfume Fairy. Using the classic artist trick of a mirror to show both back and front of the figure, she was really fun to paint. With this composition, I was able to really have a go at the wings.

Step-by-step:



I think I'll be painting a series of these naughty cuties. Maybe calling them "The Bordello Fairies" - hehe!

This is my entry for
Pinkghost's Book It show. The submissions have to be painted on books. I felt really bad about destroying a book so I went to an used book store and found one that seemed to have been there awhile. Hopefully the book-gods won't punish me too much.
I really like the concept of this painting. I think I will have to do a larger, more detail piece of this idea. And the blowfish will have to be much bigger.
Is it blowfish or puffer fish? Is there a difference?
Available now in my
Etsy store is a 3 postcard set of my tentacled cuties.

They are glossy with rounded corners. They will come in clear cello sleeves.
