In a scene from a faerie garden, two flowers huddle together in whispered conversation while a butterfly eavesdrops. Are they gossiping about the birds and the bees? This tiny painting is inspired by fairy tale illustrations, illuminated manuscripts, and persian miniatures.

Delicate ink drawings in intricate detail are juxtaposed with many thin layers of oil glaze and hints of gold leaf. This makes it's depth and richness difficult to photograph. The surface is more translucent and three dimensional than it appears in the picture. The cloudy spots are reflections caused by the scanner bed and do not appear in the actual painting.
