Fairies, Mermaids and Angels
I like to think she is reading "Wet Magic" by E. Nesbit,
surely the funniest story about mermaids ever written.
An Indian Christmas angel
in a red and gold sari
A freshwater mermaid sits in a
lily pond, enjoying a light snack.
The mermaid eyes a goldfish with a slight smile,
dropping fishbones onto a lily pad table.
A happy hairy fairy sowing spores of magic toadstools
Hovering over a magic lily-pond
A duck is astonished to fly into the middle of
an airborne fairy ballet class

Duck meets Fairy Ballet Class
A scenario that is all too well-known to every parent
of a school-age child, and yet so little
represented within the sphere of fine art!
The Dad
The Mum
The Daughter

I did the three kitchen fairy paintings on tiles, and they are now stuck up on the wall above my kitchen sink.
