Two of my favorite nature spirits - the Greenman of Geneva, IL and the Wood Elf Beauty of Conway, NH. I thought they'd make a nice couple, so I arranged for them to meet, if only in my art photography...

Greenman and the Wood ElfTwo of my favorite nature spirits...I felt they should meet, so I brought them together...

Which do you like?

Dear readers - which of these three images of the wood elf beauty (below) do you like best?

I wanted to highlight her natural, wise beauty and worked with the background of my portrait study in three ways - natural, with sunlight and with feminine pink.

She is one of the leaders of the wood elves but when I tried to call her a princess, she objected. The wood elves don't work that way, she explained. She is simply a member of a leading family in her community.

This wise wood elf beauty lives in an old maple tree and she faces an elegant 19th century white wood farm house. She intrigues me for her gentle beauty and soft demeanor.
