Rarely glimpsed but always fascinating to children and poets, the elusive world of fairies might actually exist right under our noses. Perhaps the tiny sprites really do frolic in our flower gardens, as depicted in this enchanting painting by Michael Hague (American, b. 1948). Maybe we could see them hovering over the blooms and hand-feeding the hummingbirds, if we looked very, very carefully.

B. Hap Kliban (1935-1990) was allergic to cats as a child. Then, one magical day, his allergy vanished, and he got busy gathering a houseful of feline companions. Some of his kitties were named Norton, Nitty, Burton Rustle, Noko Marie the Snake, and Cow. Kliban's fine sense of the absurd found a perfect artistic subject in the shrewd, slothful, sneaky, lovable cat.

The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke is the best-known painting by English artist Richard Dadd (1817-1886), many of whose paintings reflect his interest in supernatural subjects, especially fairies. A promising artist at an early age, he began studies at the Royal Academy Schools in London at the age of twenty. Within five years, however, he began to display signs of insanity and soon afterward was confined to a mental hospital. Dadd created The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke while at Bethlem Hospital, the first of two institutions where he spent the last forty-four years of his life. The painting, drawn from his imagination, shows the fairy-feller about to crack open a large chestnut to be used in the construction of Queen Mab's new fairy carriage. Dadd's masterpiece is housed in the Tate in the United Kingdom.

The Embrace, by Robert John Bissell (British born American, August 15, 1952).

The bears in Robert Bissell's universe lead lives as seemingly complex and thought-filled as those led by humans. They are sometimes playful, sometimes contemplative and lost in a world known only to them. Whatever the activity, Bissell's delightful bears draw us into their world and invite a closer look. Here, a group of six bears-most standing upright, all peering upward-are surrounded by swirling clouds of blue butterflies. Are the bears idly curious? Pondering the mysteries of nature? They're too spellbound to tell us.

Although the English-born Bissell started out surrounded by animals on his childhood farm, he did not start out a painter. After studying photography in London and later moving to America, he spent a decade in the corporate world before starting his own catalog company. Soon, however, he decided to follow his heart and create art full-time. He now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and is represented by galleries in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Montana, New York, Oregon, and Virginia, as well as a gallery in France.

The Bedford Hours, now among the finest treasures of the British Library, is one of the most magnificent illuminated manuscripts in existence. Produced in the fifteenth century over a period of twenty or more years in the studio of the Bedford Master-whose identity remained a mystery for several centuries-the manuscript contains scores of elaborate medallions and miniature scenes surrounded by painstakingly detailed scrollwork, initials, line-fillers, and other artistic adornments. The image reproduced here, one of the Bedford Hours' major painted pages, is a depiction of the Tower of Babel story from Genesis.

Wheel of Life thanka (hanging scroll), mid-twentieth century, Unknown artist, Tibet. From the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

The Wheel of Life is commonly seen on the entrance walls of monasteries and on painted scrolls and woodblock prints throughout Tibet and the other Buddhist countries of the Himalayan region. In graphic form, accessible to everyone including those who cannot read, it illustrates the essence of Buddhist teachings, the Four Truths: the existence of earthly suffering, its origin and cause, the ending or prevention of misery and the practical path to liberation from suffering. Picture by picture, the Wheel reminds us that everyone is responsible for his or her own fate because, according to karma, causes and their effects are the fruits of one's own deeds.
