Lace Queen

I had a painting in mind of a fairy in flight.  But sometimes ideas evolve little by little. 

For instance, the flowers in this fairy's background started out as daffodils.  But daffodils just weren't working for me.  So, soon they became Queen Anne's Lace. 

Second, first she was in bright daylight, with a blue sky as her background.  But I just kept seeing a grayer background in my mind's eye. 

Her smile and the twinkle in her eye pretty much stayed the same.  I call her Lace Queen.  And she is regal and delightful with a mischievous slant (which all fairies are prone to, to be honest).
