Thank you! I do have prints of Dragon and Fluffykins available - 8x10 for US$15, 11x14 for US$30, 16x20 for US$50, shipping inclusive. As for original artwork, I don’t use pastel or oils - never did develop a liking for either of them. What you see here is representative of what I like to do - watercolor and colored pencil, primarily. Please email me at wingsoflightning@yahoo.com so we can discuss prints and shipping details, and original art if you’re interested. | |
| 3 May 2009 |  Jane | Loading... Hello. I was a decorative artist, mostly animals and scenes with animals. I stopped painting and thought I would never be creative again. For some reason colored pencil came calling and I began to dabble and teach myself. I have found my creative life again and adore it. I search and search for animal drawings and techniques and stubbled on the idea I love fairy art with animals and nature and further searching brought me to fantasy art. I would love to know how to achieve some of the iridescence you put into your work. Its beautiful. Is it mostly shadow and layering? Or is there a product to use to get this iridescence with colored pencil. Thank you for your time and inspiration. Rachael Mayo replies: "Can’t... fit... full... RESPONSE! GAH! Jane, please email me privately ( wingsoflightning@yahoo.com ) and we can talk shop. Elfwood won’t let me put in the full text of my reply to your queries." | |

| 30 Sep 2009 |  Anitta Hiekkanen | Loading... Your gallery is just perfect. First I look around with gleaming eyes, then I get depressed and start thinking about donating my colored pencils to a charity. For me that is not only a sign of great art, it’s what I hope to achieve one day. Too bad my style isn’t right for anything like your work Rachael Mayo replies: "Thanks very much! I assure you, though, that I’ve spent nearly twenty years learning how to use colored pencils this way, and there is still much to learn. Don’t give up, and try not to worry too much about developing style. That comes in all by itself with practice. I wasn’t even aware that I had a style until someone else pointed it out to me. I mean, just color stuff! And so do you. Keep on, keep on." | |

Your gallery is astounding. | |
