(Walt Disney Studios, 1953) Original concept storyboard painting by Mary Blair of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and Wendy Darling. Accomplished in tempera on 9 x 9 artist’s board, the scene shows Peter Pan and Wendy in a state of surprise after Tinker Bell flies through an opening in the forest canopy, her fairy dust leaving a glowing trail in her wake. Blair uses a blend of soft browns, blues, and greens to color the lush backdrop of Neverland at night, with Tinker Bell and her golden trail illuminating the forest floor and its two occupants. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners.
Blair was a concept artist for Disney during the 1940s and early 1950s, working on designs for such films as Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland. She also created designs for several Disney attractions, including It's a Small World and, her largest work, the multistory mosaic in Disney World's Contemporary Hotel concourse.
