I love painting DIVA'S !

BEAUTIFUL! SPICY! BOLD! SWEET!

Outstanding intelligence! All stunning and Magnificently colorful female characters that are created as celebrities, fairy's, fairy wanna-be's and much more! All employing a fusion of the BIG EYE technique with Chibi fantasy / pop surrealism along with a tainted cartoon like appearance resulting in spectacular pieces of art !
These Girls speak volumes of the Diva way of life !
Why Diva's ? Every woman is lovely , unique and carries some sort of Diva quirkiness. Some more than others ! Let's review some of the more so called negative traits as well as the positive ones and see if you or someone you know is a TRUE BLUE DIVA :

STARFROST SHIMMER DIVA FUN FAIRY OF ENCHANTMENT

Her beauty is hypnotic and bewitching and is notorious for being super high maintenance! Her fairy wings continue to el...ude her as she is overly dramatic and spoiled. She possesses enormous talent and superior intelligence which leaves others feeling inadequate as she makes no secret of her gifts. Until she learns to curb her uncouth behavior her fairy wings will forever escape her.
She can Only be seen during the twilight hour of the first snowfall!
PRIMADONNA DI GLORIA DI MATTINA

I am so excited to introduce her as She honors the true Name of DIVA as it originated in ITALY,literally means PRIMA DONNA also known as Queen. Her DIVA ALLURE combines BEAUTY ,CHARM, POWER and SOPHISTICATION that once in her captivating presence an irresistible sweet seductive spell is cast over you leaving you mystically thrilled and somewhat bewildered ! The flower vine she swings from is made up of morning glories in the colors of yellow golden rod and warm magenta where she has a clear view of the sprawling and climbing vines of the morning glory flowers that are her subordinates. As the afternoon comes to fruition the vine and the Queen dissolve into the liquid rays of the sun only to return with the power of the morning Sunrise as beautiful and vibrant as always. In the early morning mist before the full rising of the sun you can find her secretly cushioned inside of the morning glory flower petals ready to bloom and sit in her rightful place of the swinging morning glory vine to rule once again .

DIVA BUMBLEEBEE GLITTER TOES FUN FAIRY

She can only be seen on the first day of Spring's first hour and only if the bees swarm !
Her Diva personality indicates she always wants her own way and this prevents her from getting her wings ! Year after year she tries but her much wanted wings that can let her swarm with bees is eluded until she learns to compromise ! WHAT A DIVA !
HEART TWINKLE DIVA FUN FAIRY OF AMORE

She is HOT and SPICY and TEMPERMENTAL ! And although
charismatic and utterly feminine - be...ing the Diva that she is leads her to think that everyone should fullfill her every whim ! Sadly because of this behavior she is unable to earn her fairy wings and be a full fledged fairy diva with magic powers and all ! She needs t learn that love is not just take but give as well !
You can catch a glimpse of her in that heated magical moment of passion between a first kiss and the first flutter of your heart !

JUPITERGLOW DIVA MASTER FAIRY OF WHIMSICAL DREAMS

Dreams occur in the timeless outside the scope of minutes and hours - existing in the spaces between the spaces. As we succumb to deep slumber, JUPITERGLOW DIVA MASTER FAIRY OF WHIMSICAL DREAMS appears, amid the inhale and exhale of our breath far beyond the twinkling stars and far away galaxies. She secretly floats in the formless and is found in that enchanted moment between sleep and wake, telling tales of mystical escapades filled with magical adventures we call DREAMS !
LUNASHIMMER DIVA MASTER FAIRY OF THE SLEEPING ONES

She can only be seen in the shimmering light of a shooting star when the full moon is out. She sits by the portral of the conscious and the subconscious waiting for the dreams to be dreamt to filter out the bad ones and embedding the good ones in our subconscious. With her echos of soft whispers, she gently reminds our conscious mind to remember them upon waking

DIVA QUEEN of the LADY BUGS

BLUE DRAMA DIVA MASTER FAIRY DREAMCATCHER

Legend says :
An ancient Chippewa traditon
The dream net has been made
For many generations
Where spirit dreams have played

Hung above the cradle board
Or in the lodge up high
The dream net catches bad dreams
While good dreams slip on by

Bad dreams become entangled
Among the sinew thread
Good dreams slip through the center hole
While you dream upon your bed

This is an ancient legend
Since dreams will never cease
Hang this dream net above your bed
Dream on and be at Peace
