04:12 pm - Gryphon Fairy

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a time warp. Or maybe it's just that
time flies, but I can't believe it's the middle of August already! *laughs*
Anyway, I went to the zoo last week and saw some amazing owls, which I
think in part inspired this piece. That and I've been working on sketches
for a new children's book contract that I just signed last month ( probably
why the month flew by) and in this wonderful story, a gryphon makes a
brief appearance. So I think it all got mixed up and this is what popped
into my head. Not sure why I'm always explaining where my ideas originate
from. Guess it's a way to talk about a picture. Though at the arts and
craft shows I do, I am asked frequently where my ideas come from. Maybe
I should tell them to go take a peek at my live journal :)

Wow, wow , wow...
i am blown away,
Lisa she is so unique and so beautiful, those eyes are just incredible..
i had seen her on ebay before here and was in love with the eyes, but if you have been doing work on owls etc i can understand why the eyes are so magnetising in this piece..
i love reading how you come up with your ideas..
i love owls too..
can't wait to see the book

Thanks Jeanne-Marie!
The new book actually has a lot of different fantasy creatures so I'm in seventh heaven! I think the book will be out sometime next year.
Glad you like hearing where ideas come from, you know, I do too :) It's very facinating to me. I love the inspiration process, how a mind takes different elements in, mixes them up, and pops out a new idea/viewpoint/concept.

Oh wow! She's so mysterious- I want to know more about her! I loved hearing a little of her history. :) Your backgrounds are always so beautiful, too.

Thank you Kristina!
She's a gaurdian spirit of sorts, a dweller of the woods, and nocturnal.... but not bloodthirsty like a vampire. I'd think she must go on secret missions of great importance, that would add to the intrigue, surely. But she is a mysterious creature.

Ahh so pretty. I saw this on eBay earlier. Hope you get lots of money out of this one. This is so different and unique and if I wasn't getting ready for my annual art show I would have to bid on this baby!!!

Good luck on your annual art show! and all that it entails to get ready, I know it must be a lot of work.
