It’s both inspiration and helps with the work itself, it’s Coffee!

My latest mixed-media painting is complete.  It’s a bit bigger and took a bit longer than the recent Fairy Tale pieces took.  Sometimes the art pieces seem to create themselves and sometimes it feels like I’m wrestling with my muse to create what I sense.  Feel free to click for larger images on the medium pics below and remember that this piece along with many others, can be purchased at my Etsy store: Artistic Avenues Explored with Joy.

The hay has been turned to gold now the queen must pay

It started with a girl trapped by the lies of her father.  It turned into an unlikely little troll becoming her savior… for a price. Now it is an impossible riddle to search for the name of the demon who demands her child for saving her. There is still hope, but there is nothing sure about her fate unless she can find the name, Rumpelstiltskin.
