Zeldriia’s Magic

©2011 Clyde Caldwell All Rights Reserved
Size: 18″ x 24″
Medium: Oils
Date: 2011
Publication: Limited Edition Fantasy Art Print

A beautiful, scantily clad Elf maiden casts a mysterious spell in the lush depths of a secluded forest. Her long, copper colored hair flows in the breeze as the glowing jewel in her staff pulses with seductive Elven energy. Behold the power of Zeldriia’s Magic!

Zeldriia is a character created by an author in England named Sean Bradley for a book he’s writing. Sean commissioned the painting, ‘Zeldriia’s Magic’, and I thought it would make a really nice fantasy art print.
