Brand New Fantasy artwork/painting released - Green Faery

I started this painting a couple of months ago, the sketch had been done. Until a little over a week ago that is all it really was; a sketch!
I was going to wait until I had all of my current WIP's completed before i started on this, but I found that I kept thinking about this painting and figured that I should go ahead and do this one seeing as I was obssessing over starting it!
LOL

I have actually begun recording my hours for my art, normally I was pricing them based on a price per medium x square inch. Now I am basing them all on the time taken to actually complete the work, i use the software: Art Affair - (an inventory/invoicing program - well worth the $ spent) and after recording all the hours and minutes i had written down on a notepad, this artwork took me (including preliminary sketches) 13 hours and 15 minutes!
WOWsa...no wonder i am tired...lol.

At the moment prints and the original are not yet for sale, simply because the original painting is: 29 x 42cm so it is wayyyy too big for my scanner, so I will be having it scanned by a local printing service, i was scanning them in sections before this but it took about 3hrs to get that done and the sections digitally 'stitched' together (my laptop is soooo slow and needs upgrading) I figured paying a company to scan it is going to save my sanity, that and also keep me from throwing my computer out the window in frustration!
so the image you see on here is a photograph, so it basically is just to show everyone what I have been upto.
It will be available on ebay once scan has been done!

Over the coming weeks:
I will be getting some of my WIP paintings finished, I even have a couple of finished art that simply needs to be scanned!
Artworks include:
Gothic art
2 x light, whimsical faery artworks
the next artwork in my Celtic Astrology Series - this one is to be Holly Faery.

I am also playing with a few ideas for new art series. This will be announced once i have added more to the Celtic Astrology and Enchanted Visions Series.
Ok so stay tuned.
I do have a newsletter signup via my website if you want to stay informed of new art, auctions, sales etc.
