Helen mentioned fairies in her inspiration image description, an elf or a gnome.

I thought, why not have them in the forest?

This is my version of something going on when we are not there.

When I saw Helen's painting, the first thing I thought of was painting an abstract door.  Love doors, especially European doors.  But the colors she chose pointed me more along a fantasy theme.  I love fairies, don't paint them or their environments very well, but something you can always work on and get better at.  Linda Ravenscroft has several books that help you think along the lines of creating a fairy world, full of, or course, fairies and their friends.

Oh, how I’d love to behind that gate catching a bit of peace and quiet right now, away from the craziness going on around me. This painting has been my quiet place during the month as Covid-19 gradually becomes the central theme of our lives here in NYC. My painting is based on a photo I took in St. George’s, Bermuda. I love taking pictures of doors and gates, so when I saw Helen’s painting I headed straight to my photo stash for subject matter.

This was my first jewelry piece to make, and the crooked tree (from "The Fairy Door" which was inspired by "Door Beneath the Wisteria") was a great inspiration.

There is magic deep in the forest, but you must tread softly and listen to your heart to find it. Only then, if you look very hard and are very lucky, you may catch a glimpse of where the fairies live. Their homes are full of joy and colour, happiness and love. The fairies are the protectors of the forest, and they will gently blow their blessings your way if you treat the forest as if it were your home as well.

March Inspiration 1: Door Beneath the Wisteria by Helen Eaton

Who do you think might live in the door beneath the wisteria?  Surely it's a fairy... a sprite... an elf... a gnome...a regular lady with green thumb?  I think she sings while she tends to her flowers and smiles when she greets the mornings.  I think she laughs when she looks at her aqua door and is glad she chose aqua.  I think she is content. I think everyone who visits her feels welcomed and at home.
