Thoroughly enjoyed viewing this work - it is light - it almost has a joyful feel to it.

Your title matches perfectly with your creation - which compositionally - is excellent.

The delicate hummingbird, the butterflies, and the birds in the distance give this piece a touch of realism to an otherwise magical work.

This character would make an excellent series for a baby's nursery.

Very well done.

Enchanting piece of art work you have put on display here, it has good center of interest and draws the viewer in for a closer look. I feel a little more contrast in the picture would make it stand out even more. thanks for sharing :)

stunning work here shawn, this is so enchanting with the fairy in the tree and all the butterflies and flowers adding to the magic of this image, that lovely humming bird is lovely adding a story to this would be no trouble at all. Have you ever thought about doing child illistrations for books because i feel you could really do some wonderful works. this is a side of you i havent seen before and i think you should run with these kind of images and see where they take you. tinkerbell fairies pixies are all very magical and everyone loves them. well done shawn i love it and thanks for sharing it from Aj :)
ps sorry its only a 5 no more than this left lol next time though if as good as this one ;)

Love the fairy asleep on the tree. Great fantasy composition. Like the colors and texture. Lots of little creatures with lots of energy to surround our little fairy fast asleep.

This is so cute! I love the detail you've given the tree and the flowering on it is beautiful! The hummingbird is a great touch! This is just so cute and I just adore it! That little fairy has had a hard time bringing in spring this year!

oh wow, a very magical painting you have here. I like how the fairy is sleeping, you always see them perky and alert, nice to see their "human" traits as well.
Good job, thanks for sharing

Looks like this little fellow is really tired after all the work he did on St. Patrick's Day. Nice work of art you have posted here and I like very much the very vivid colors you did choose to use here. Very Nice!

Wonderful creation, I love the vivid colors you have used here to present the spring coming finally. I hope it is coming finally, since here today it's the first sunny day after a long, long time. Wonderful details, great composition and fairy look give a wonderful springtime atmosphere. Thanks for sharing this beauty, and happy birthday in two days:)

This is a lovely idea, and the execution is very good! I love the idea of a tired fairy! This would make such a nice picture for a children's book! I like the delicate flowers and the sparkle is a very nice touch! Donkeyoatey
