"May Queen." Since it is an illustration for a magazine focusing on May Day (aka Beltane), it is chock-full of spring & summer imagery. The fairy May Queen is shown as a wheaten haired beauty with a daisy chain in her hair, against the sky of a summer night. She is surrounded by a bounty of leaves and beautiful bright flowers, and symbols of fertility and change of seasons (such as eggs, honeybees, moon phases, etc.). She's also accompanied by a handsome Jack-in-the-Green (aka a "green man") made of leaves with stag-like antlers. My own original acrylic painting. ©Jasmine Becket-Griffith - prints are available at http://www.strangeling.com and http://zazzle.com/strangeling*
