Storybook Hideaway

My 05/18/26 postcard is a fairy scene tucked into a yard along Solano, built against the base of a tree like a hidden doorway into another world. The tiny blue door, mushrooms, glass stones, and fairies transformed an ordinary patch of dirt into something that felt halfway between a garden and a storybook. I reworked the background and processed the image as a painting to finish the piece.
