"N" is for Neverland - A to Z Challenge

Neverlands are fictional locations in the minds of children, according to J. M. Barrie, author of the play Peter Pan and the 1911 novel Peter and Wendy. These places are not the same from one child to another. For me, Neverlands alway involve trees and the sanctuary found in the woods. I look out the window from my writing studio into a Neverland, and I treasure it.

For Farrand Ferand, the heroine of Evening of the Dragonfly, woods and trees are her Neverland. She loves the beauty of the trees and listening to the birds sing as she strolls through the woods. The occasional sighting of a herd of deer brings a sense of wonder to her. The landscape is both magical and mystical.

Her new painting, "Mystical Neverland", is the completion of yesterday's large canvas. This art work is 18 by 36 inches, acrylic and mixed watermedia on canvas.

Can you see the magic of Neverland in this painting?
