Planting Tiny Candy Seeds | A Morning in the Fairy Garden

by Pamela Hallock on Jun 02, 2026

Watercolor illustration of tiny glowing fairies planting candy seeds beneath a soft morning sky in a peaceful fairy garden from The Night the Gumdrop Fell by Pamela Hallock.

Beneath the quiet morning sky, the fairies return to the garden carrying pieces of the fallen gumdrop.

One by one, they press the tiny candy seeds into the earth, hoping something beautiful will grow.

This watercolor painting is part of my upcoming picture book, The Night the Gumdrop Fell — a gentle story of friendship, patience, and small acts of hope beneath the grass.

In this longer painting video, I share the soft layering of watercolor washes, morning light, delicate fairy details, and the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the candy garden after the journey is complete.

The Night The Gumdrop Fell is now available as a Kindle eBook.
