The Magic Tree

Wonders Ahead

We had previously left Madeleine asleep on her couch, surrounded by her toys in her parents' living room.

Her sleeping must have been very light though, because somewhere in the middle of it (or at the end - you cant really tell time apart when you are sleeping) she could hear soft splashes of water, and so she opened her eyes, and looked around her.

She was sitting, she found, on the back of a beautiful and very regal-looking swan, who must have been a very special kind of swan indeed, to be able to carry her...(or maybe I have shrunk somehow, and am much lighter now, though Madeleine, reasonably)

They were in a vast lake, for Madeleine turned back to see where they had departed from, but could not see the shore in either direction, but the swan's movement was so gentle and reassuring, that she didn't panic or felt the need to ask him where they were going.





I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, mine was relieving as my knee stopped hurting (finally!). Thank you all for your get well wishes!

A Fairytale Of Sorts Is On Its Way...

...it will have to be told in paintings, though, at least for the time being. I have been working on a new series lately, and this one will most probably land in the little shop

around the end of October, as it is still in progress (and requires quite a few paintings for the story to be told as efficiently as possible). The first few are ready, though, so without any more prolonging, allow me to introduce you to Madeleine:

Madeleine Dreams, acrylics on canvas, 10 x 12 in.

Madeleine is an only child, and no matter how many times she has asked her parents for a little brother, or a little sister (that she would name Mallow and Marsh, respectively) they have denied her that favor for their own unspecific grown-up reasons. Madeleine has repeatedly asked them to tell her why they refuse to do so, but instead of answers, she receives gifts of toys, big ones and little ones, as in her parents' minds, that alone is enough to keep her little head occupied.
