High above the whispering mists of the waking world, where the first pale streaks of lavender and rose gold paint the sky, stands the Fairy of Dawn. Her existence is a delicate choreography of light and shadow, captured in mixed media on pastel paper—a project lovingly worked on and off throughout the years since her publication in The Faerie and Angels Magazine in 2010. Atop her crown rests a wreath of dewy purple roses and wild morning glories, woven fresh with every sunrise. Her cascading brown hair catches the morning's earliest rays, shifting in tone like rich earth touched by fire. Behind her, translucent wings shimmer with an iridescent mother-of-pearl sheen, catching the morning frost before it melts into the breeze. Her gown, a seamless blend of fluid silk and petal-like drapery in gradients of soft pink and violet, flows down to the silver-plated base that anchors her to the realm. With a gentle hand, she cradles a single, perfect rose tied with an ethereal ribbon, a quiet offering to the newborn day. Here is the original: https://www.artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=868766. I updated her arm pose, as I was never quite happy with it.
