a blog by Amy of Radiance Art
Artists everywhere are getting into gear for the fall season, the time for cooler temperatures, outdoor festivals, and my personal favorite part, pumpkin-flavored everything.
This week, I’m featuring some of the great autumny items in FAE member BunnyKissd’s Fairie Gardens shop.
She’s also got some other wonderful items, including this adorable little guy:
Check out BunnyKissd in the latest FAE Exhibition and on her blog!
The FAE have put together their latest online exhibition, “Moonbeams, Stars, and Comets”. I love this theme, and the submissions are gorgeous! The overall color palette is beautiful, as is the banner.
I think this is one is the one of best exhibitions yet!
This week I’m spotlighting FAE pencil artist (and fellow Delawarean*) Kristin of Aquariann!
Kristin does so much hard work for the FAE, to include keeping an eye on the site, putting together the exhibitions, and being an all around inspiration for the rest of us.
And somewhere in between all that, she manages to find the time to produce some gorgeous art:
Kristin has this great way with her pencils that channels Amy Brown while at the same time having that ‘something else’ that is all her own.
Learn more about Kristin and her art here and follow her on Twitter.

This week I’m featuring a member of both FEST and FAE—Cat of Darkling Woods!
I’m a big fan of anything fairy tale. I still get really excited when the princesses are out at Disney World. (But not that Jafar guy. He’s kind of a jerk. Trust me.)
What I love about Cat’s watercolors is the airy, ethereal quality they have. Looking over her shop is like seeing a cloud of feathers that, upon closer inspection, each reward you with a gorgeous glimpse into her fantasy realm. She takes her medium and, with her distinctive style, makes it her own.
This the piece that really caught my eye this week:
A bit of background information about me: I hate Snow White. With a passion. I like a good damsel in distress as much as any girl, but something about Snow White brings out the bra –burning feminist in me. Then there is the Disney incarnation of her, which I find just nails-on-chalkboard annoying. I’ll have a bulleted presentation on the subject one of these days.
So for me to be absolutely in LOVE with a Snow White drawing is exceptionally unusual. Cat’s just that good.
Check out her blog. Then follow her on Twitter. You have your instructions :)
