About This Piece

David captured a photograph of his daughter standing before an intricately branched tree at the National Botanical Gardens of Wales. The composition captivated him, with twisting branches filling the frame and his daughter gazing indifferently into the distance.

Impulsively, he envisioned transforming the image into a painting - initially conceptualising the scene as featuring a young Tylwyth Teg (Welsh fairy) wandering through her natural forest habitat. With a few subtle modifications and his characteristic artistic approach, the photograph evolved into a mythological narrative exploring the liminal spaces between reality and folklore.

The resulting artwork reimagines a simple family moment as a moment of ethereal woodland mystery, blending personal memory with Welsh mythological imagination.
