Winter Solstice

 Time out to honor the longest night and the increasing light. Light in the darkness, lightness of spirit, and the promise of light in longer days.  What began as a small doodle turned out to be my card this year.  

My First Fairy?

 I 'm not positive, but I think this might be the first time I was commissioned to illustrate a  fairy.  I don't know why.  I like drawing fairies. Of the stranger sort.

 This is Lazeena, who grants wishes to the lazy. Here she is offering to take over mowing the lawn. In exchange, the homeowner must sleep in his hammock until she completes the job. Of course he agrees, but is not too happy when he wakes up a year later. One of a series for Highlights. Graphite and photoshop color.

 I think I channelled  the spirit of Carol Kane in Scrooged. Not one to be fooled with!
