“Follow the Fairies” is a whimsical trail of fairies emerging from hibernation.
I used to theorize that fairies originated from delicate flowers and bloomed
when the flowers did. As a result, much of my youth was spent trying to
catch the fairies in action and conversing with the flowers as if they were
people with souls and breath.
The flowers in the painting are called fairy slippers and heart-leafed
Twayblades, orchids found in the northern part of BC. I spotted a few during a walk on what my family called “The mosquito Trail” when I was a kid, and I was curious about what kind of flower they were, but I never
found out until adulthood.
