16x20 inch oil painting on cradled wood panel. Title is from ‘the fairy song’ in Shakespeare’s Act II, scene 1 of ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’, wherein Puck greets the fairy, asking "How now, spirit? Whither wander you?"

The fairy replies:

Over hill, over dale,
   Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
   Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere
Swifter than the moonè's sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green:
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
I must go seek some dew-drops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
