Description A gift for my best friend. Whew, this took way too long! I really need to work on painting faster somehow. >_> I enjoyed working on it, but boy am I glad I'm finally finished. I'm so ready to move on!

Also, this is my first real piece done on my new monitor, so I hope it looks okay! Is it too dark? Washed out? Killing your eyes with saturation? Dull?

how long does it take you to make masterpieces such as this one here?

The time always varies so much, haha, but I would say that I take 30-60 hours on an average piece, probably usually on the higher end.  I'm such a slow painter. OTL

I absolutely love this piece! Saw it at Dragon*Con today, bought the print and now I can't wait to get it framed.

This is a really interesting piece! It looks like she's inside a Christmas card. x) Beautiful detail!

Haha, I did originally start this around Christmas. >_>; But with the bit of foliage in it, hopefully it works at least for the end of winter too, hehe. And thank you!

Good work Amber, I like the way it came out as the final product. Love the detail in the night sky.

Thanks a bunch. I kind of struggled a little with painting the Milky Way, but I hope it doesn't look too bad.

This right here..... is absolutely amazing. My home state's bird is the Cardinal. And I love the fairies shirt. -Grins.-
On my screen, it looks perfect.

Thank you so much! I do love the color that cardinals add to the scenery, especially in the winter. ^^
