The Whimsical World of
Gail Lawson White

Creator of woodland elves, faerie folk, angels and other-worldly creatures 

September 20, 2023

WE'RE BACK! But please be patient with us.  This website is currently under construction with new news coming in the future!

 

Often I am asked how I create a painting.  It starts with a picture in my head.  A drawing emerges from the blank canvas.  Then, it is nothing more than colored water moving around the page.  Visit the World of Faerie see how magic is made one brush stroke at a time at "Magic in the Making" at gailspicsandtalestoo.mysite.com  

 

 

 

“It starts with a picture in my head, sometimes with a story attached,” says folk artist and fantasy writer Gail Lawson White, who creates whimsical portraits of a world the rest of us seldom, if ever, have the opportunity to see, giving us a peek into the world of faerie folk, woodland elves, angels and other unearthly creatures.  Hers is a land of fantasy and imagination, of wonder and amazement, where the sky is always bluer, flowers abound and a wee bit of Blarney tells a story in each painting she creates.

 

 

 

Her work and philosophy are best described in the quotation by the 19th Century art critic John Ruskin, “If some people see angels where others see only empty space, let them paint the angels.”

Gail’s first book of poetry has been released and includes a number of pieces of her artwork. The View from the Thorn explores the realm of magic and miracles, the reality of myth, legend and history. Before the scientifically explainable world of today, we believed in miracles.  Before the miracles, we believed in magic.  Myths, legends and history handed down through generations of storytellers taught us lessons, gave us hope and instilled great faith.  The View from the Thorn is presently available at arts and crafts venues where the artist peddles her wares.
