Here is my piece. It is called The Glass Slippers.
Within the various themes of my art, fantasy plays a major role in its development. From memory, pieces like the 'The Glass
Slippers' appear to me completed in my mind's eye. Clouds and moonlight are an essential part in all of my fantasy landscapes.
Toning the canvas prior to the initial painting gives the sky a luminous quality and a glow, which adds to the depth and intrigue of
the setting.
