Pirate Princess

The title of this post is a little misleading. I'm not quite sure if this pretty lady is actually a pirate princess. She's certainly some kind of fairy princess (fairy princesses have the best hair), and most likely nautical given her fashions and surroundings. Whomever she might be, she looks deep in thought plotting her next course across the seas.

What's a fairy princess without an animal companion?

Or two?

Last night's sketch.

It was hard to get a good scan of her, because the colors in this one are very light and light scans get a bit washed out. I played with it a little in Photoshop to adjust the levels, and finally have the print very close to the original painting.

Hope you're having a great Friday! It's windy, rainy, and beautiful out here, a lovely October evening!
