| Ali holding Shades of Blue |
I am about to shamelessly trumpet about my extremely
talented daughter Alison.
Alison is the oldest of my three daughters – all extremely
talented, by the way – and she is an artist.
She specializes in fantasy art, specifically fairies and she has just
entered a The Fairies Fantasy Art Awards Contest for a chance to win a
licensing contract with Fairiesandfantasy.com.
 |
| Shades of Blue (2012) |
The first round of voting is now open and I am appealing to
all who stumble across this post to please, please, please follow this
link: http://selinafenech.com/2013/2013-art-awards-round-one-voting/
and cast your vote for Allison (it’s actually spelled with one L, but we’ll
work out the details when, with your help, she wins) Spokes. She needs to be in the top five to advance to
the second round.

| When she's not painting fairies, Alison dresses up as a fairy. |
Alison started to draw when she was four years old. Her early work, while child-like in its
rendering, showed amazing promise. She
continued to draw all through her childhood, growing ever more confident and
skilled. In her early twenties, she
discovered digital media and began to paint incredible works with her favourite
theme: fairies.
Ethereal Earth is the name of her art business (http://www.etherealearth.ca). You can find her prints and other merchandise
on Etsy (http://www.etherealearth.etsy.com) and
Zazzle (http://www.zazzle.ca/etherealearth). Feel free to browse – and buy! – after you
vote. Coffee tastes much better in an Ethereal
Art fairy mug and books are better with an Ethereal Art bookmark saving your
place.
Here are some more examples of Alison's work...

| Graphite drawing of Humphrey Bogart (Ali was about 16 when she drew this) |

| Hunter's Moon (2012) |
 |
| One of Ali's earlier Fairies |
 |
| The Muse (2011) |

| Just getting her "wings" Ali drew this in high school. |
Doesn't this just scream winner to you!?
You can learn more about Ali and her art in her interview for Creative-Artists-Blog: http://creative-artists-blog.com/interview-alison-spokes/
Of course she has my vote! Actually when I look over these paintings, I think she's every bit as good as some of them, and better than a lot of them! Here's to Ali!
ReplyDeleteI just voted for her...Alison's work is lovely! She is (when I checked) in 6th place. Pretty good. She's got fierce competition but I think she's better than the two in the first positions now. Good luck to her.
