So you caught me in this reverie, There at home where I could stay for hours. You thought I was trapped from within.
I won't blame you, if you couldn't notice That my aloneness was filled Richer than all the madnesses and frenzies You all live in.
The austere discomfort I am coiled in Beneath that hole on the ceiling Is a whole universe of fancies And the sweetest haven for heart and soul.

The way you have the different angles and lighting contrast is inspiring. The details you took the time to add to everything from the walls all the way to the tiny bristles on the paint brush is astounding. The way each and every fold on the clothing is put and made to look as if they belong is wonderful. The fact that you even took the time to accurately add the indents of the veins and tendons to the precise details to the mans feet is astounding and just goes to show how deeply you care about your work. Astounding Job Well Done!!!!
This piece is really moving. You can see how much he loves this fairy and how she is basking in his attention . She is obviously pleased with herself. I wish you would have shown another fairy perhaps envious of his small muse . The plant looks like it is dying perhaps this is a representation of what the painter is going through. Slowly dying? Jealous of how free the fairies are, and beautiful. The tree is wrapped around his arm which makes me wonder how long has he been there and is he trapped? He doesn't show any obvious signs of wear , so maybe the fairies are restoring him with magic? Is he caught in a glamour? The longer I look at this Image the more I see . Wonderfull !
