Never the same painting Twice/Breathtaking Imagination

The room was quiet. It was night time. I had homework when I typed in paintings in the search engine of my laptop. Thousands of pictures of paintings popped up in a the whole window. Normally one would be overwhelmed by all of the paintings in particular, but not I. No, my eyes seemed to ignore every painting except one beautiful master piece of fantasy artwork. It was calling to me. I looked at it 5 times and each time i discovered something new about it. . .

The Spirit of Flight -Josephine Wall- Acrylic on Canvas- 13½" x 14½

"The Spirit of Flight, the force responsible for the powers of movement of the wind and air, has gathered around her all the flying things she loves. Birds, insects, flying fish, swirling leaves, seeds of dandelions and sycamore trees, butterflies and fairies all dance around her in a grand array of wild free motion."
 
After seeing this painting I had to know who the genius was behind it. Josephine Wall is that genius. A visual story teller who paints in vibrantly bright colour as if light is being shown through the painting. With Fantasy as her guide she paints a variety of painting, from surrealism, to Greek mythology, and Nature. She paints to show the viewer a story. Whether that story is Earth or everyday life depends on the viewer. 
She paints with acrylic paint and many different sized canvases, usually large ones. She starts off general to specific, usually starting with the face and going out with the brightest colors and then working on it until she finds it perfect.
Although all of her paintings are fantasy, she does research real flowers and butterflies, so the objects in the painting are actual every day objects just used in a different, more imaginative way. I would love to own one of her paintings, they are magnificent.
