I was asked to paint an album cover for my sister's band, Crone Craft. She wanted cottonwood trees and a fairy ring. A fairy ring, if you're unfamiliar, is a naturally occurring circle from which fairies are said to enter and exit this realm. Cottonwoods are easy to find in Wyoming so I went to the park, sat down, and drew a cluster of young trees. A circle of wild mushrooms made an excellent portal for fairy folk. Then I came home and applied watercolor. The square format is one of the most challenging formats with which to work--according to my college painting professor. I think it worked out well! It feels ethereal and unique, just like my sister.
