Finished the fairyland mural just in time for a bl Finished the fairyland mural just in time for a blizzard. I loved working on this in the sunshine of early fall. By the time late November came around, I was really grateful that Kitty brought me hot coco each late afternoon. Kitty is the chair of the Stafford Conservation Commission and she hired me to do this mural at her home. I moved to Stafford Springs fifteen years ago. It’s a little town in the northeast corner of Connecticut, just a bike ride from Massachusetts. There’s a deep appreciation for the forest and for the springs here. One of my buddies in Hartford says Stafford is a vortex of eccentricity, and people do say there’s something in the water. John Adams was sent here by his wife to rejuvenate in the spring waters, but he complained that it was way too cold. I hear that! When Steve and I were first learning about raising children (still learning), we read that for children to feel a sense of place in nature, they need most to know one place very well, rather than all kinds of places. It is nearly impossible to do this as a parent unless someone before you decided to preserve land and provide access to it. My thanks to Kitty for her role in that work, and for all the people in Stafford who look after the land and water. I hope it’s something that becomes common everywhere, as it used to be common. So, fairies. I have never seen a fairy. Once as I was walking I heard flowers laughing. I had to wonder- have they been laughing this whole time? Decades here on earth and this is the first time I hear it? The flowers have faces here because flowers are sentient beings. #nature #fairies #flowers #bunnies #turtle #hummingbird #woodpecker #unicorn #roses #oak #ribbon #benevolent #shannonmccarthy #mural #goldenacrylic #goldenacrylics #irises #fairies #sentientbeings

Angel Gabriel, 12” x 16”. This is my new paint Angel Gabriel, 12” x 16”. This is my new painting! Thoughts about it are on my freshly updated website, ShannonMcCarthy.com. Have you ever seen or felt an angel? I wish I could learn more about angels. I saw an enormous one in the sky (hence this painting) and it only made me wonder more. #angels #angelgabriel #odilonredon #gold #heart #stars #mercy #heavens #celestial #celestialbodies #visions #artistsoninstagram #art #oilpainting #mysticism #loveinthesky #electricstormpodcast #shannonmccarthy
