A favorite etsy shop: Elfin Dreams

This is a shop, at the moment, that exclusively sells fantasy original painting by Toni Cogdell.  The art in Elfin Dreams is mainly fairies or other nymph like creatures of nature.  Which, of course, is a big reason why this shop is one of my favorites.  Toni's work is very emotional, spiritual and whimsical.

Above is one of my favorite original watercolor and acrylical painting in Elfin Dreams.  This piece is titled Lady of Hawthorn.  As far back as I can remember my family has taken camping trips every summer.  With so many fond memories with my family out in the woods I have grown with a great appreciate for nature and a love of trees.  In this piece, an elven like creature seems to be a part of this tree, perhaps a tree spirit taking on a humanoid form.  I've hugged trees, but to be a part of the tree would be a completely different experience.  What's your interpretation of this lovely art piece?
