I was wrapping up my Autumn Fairies illustration (which you can read more about here if you’re wondering what the heck I’m on about) and was at the stage where I show it to my kids. As always, I made sure not to give them any context or information before showing them the piece. I asked my son if he could tell what was going on and do you know what he said?

 

 

 

Of course it only took .5 seconds for me to realize that I had chosen to slather the fairy in the final scene with bright red paint. What the heck else would he think that it was?
