2 Little Redheads

The lady who is buying three of my fairy paintings off ebay at the moment asked if I could come up with a 4th to compliment them. She wanted another 'redhead', so this afternoon I sat and did these two for her to choose from. Not heard back yet whether she wants either of them though.

Faerie White

Whatever she decides, one or both will go up on sale soon.

She probably can't decide which one - they're both so lovely :thumbup; :sold:
She could be a Libran - sitting there with two choices - nightmare.

It may take a time to come up with the solution - buy both!!!!! :thumbup; :thumbup;

Love x :wave:

She will probably buy both then ask you to do another as she has an odd one...then you can do another 2...she will buy them ....etc etc :D

Love your work :thumbup;

Thanks everyone!

I just got the most beautiful letter from the lady in question. She said that when she saw that I had painted something specifically for her, that she had tears in her eyes! Awww...isn't that sweet? Anyway, it does look like she is going with the trend and choosing Faerie White, although she is wavering and doing some measuring to see if she can fit the other one in as well! So they may both be soon on their way to Memphis!

I think I will keep that letter though!

Well, she pondered but had to admit she only had wall-space for one, so she chose Faerie White! She said she might buy more in the future though and suggested an idea I might like to try as a larger piece, and she said she'd pay what I charged on my website for larger works, so might have some more sales yet! She's also put a link to my site on her blog as well!

Heck....I got me a fan! :lol:

Anyway, it made it all the mopre pleasurable to sell to someone as nice as her and I know she is going to treasure my paintings! That is worth everything, really!

Nice feeling!

Steve, the good news is we have a few MifMif early works up in the craft room, and a signed card. Shall we keep them until she's really famous? :o

By the way you have more fans than you know...you can count me as one :thumbup; (plus a little bit of jealousy <_< )

Looking forward to more of the same.

Both are stunning, as always Maria

Though I too have to go for the white one. The detail in the face is just breathtaking.
One day I'll have to get me one of your originals, as you really are a superb artist.
