I am quite taken by Ms Phelan's art and I'm sure you will be, too.
I love her stories about each painting. All the text here is from her
site and is copyright to her as is all the art here. Enjoy!
Title: The Music of Dawn
Dawn sits within the faery circle, she,
a handmaiden of Mother Nature. Her
role is to raise the sun and create the sunrise.
Yet this faery is destined never to see her
creations as she is bereft of the senses we
take for granted. Yet still she takes great
pride and delight in her role and can feel
the beauty and power of every creation.
Every morning she brings forth a dawn
that will catch your breath and leave you
with the knowledge that you are but a small
part of a this very beautiful world.
Title: The White Swans
Shimm'Rae the White is
one of theDanoine Sidhe.
Her beauty and grace is
unequaled, while her
gentleness and compassion is
unrivaled. This beautiful
sidhe is guardian of
lakes and gentle streams
where she is often seen
in the form of a white
swan, gliding on the her
silken surface with
sisters. By night she
takes on the form of
faery woman and will
dance among the brightness
of the moon's silver reflection.
Title: The Silent Change
Dana'elle, a golden faereling,
borne of royalty is handmaiden
to Mother Nature. Her role is
that of change. She wanders the
woods and forests of the world,
bringing the trees their new
Autumn clothes. She is graceful,
beautiful, wise, and serene.
Title: Domino
Domino may be good, or she may
be not so good. At present, the
truth is unknown due to the fact
that this elusive faereling evades
and avoids contact with all humans.
People are cautioned against seekin
her out because she is often glimpsed
during times of strife and chaos. It is
not known if she is responsible,
but her continued presence is
enough to warrant caution.
Domino is skilled at evasion. All who
have glimpsed her have never
successfully managed to track her
beyond the scene of the destruction.
It is believed that Domino can
camoflauge herself so efficiently
that she is rendered almost invisible
to the human eye.
Title: Night, She Cometh
Night, She cometh. She walks the
world, silent and beautiful; Her
pale visage as bright as the moon.
Beside Her walks Her dark, sweet
companion who places the stars
in the sky in Her darkening wake.
Be not afraid of the Night, although
She brings change. Instead, rejoice
in Her embrace; slumber and dream
of distant worlds and magicks.
Title: Lady M'Raenda of Summer
Lady M'Raenda is a sweet, albiet somewhat
cheeky, faereling and another of Mother Nature's
Handmaidens. As handmaidens go, she is one
of the youngest, being only 1,253 years old. But
her youth and her sweet nature make her a
favourite of Mother Nature. M'Raenda is a Summer
fae, responsible for all the lavende hues that
appear in nature when the sun is at it's warmest. So
when you see lavender in bloom, or the brilliant
crowns of blooms atop the jacaranda trees, you
will know that M'Raenda has wandered by.
M'Raenda is also a lover of dragons and has a wee
green and gold dragonflye that follows her always
and guards her jealously. Together the pair journey
across the lands both near and distant and with wand
in hand the faereling brings forth new blooms, while her
laughter and childish delight can often be heard floating
upon a gentle Summer's breeze.
