"Unseelie Court: War" Greeting Card
The second painting in a series I'm debuting called "The Unseelie Court" - specifically for the subset inspired by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - I debuted & sold this piece for the Dragon*Con 2014 Art Show. Each painting in my Unseelie Court series depicts important individuals or families within the Unseelie Court. Exploring the darker side of the Fairy Court, the Unseelie faeries take their theming from slightly unpleasant aspects of the magical and natural world. But of course despite being wicked they will have a beautiful and refinded elegance about them.... This particular painting in the series symbolises "War". I tried to use a variety of imagery from the mediaeval times all the way up to contemporary or even futuristic war implements, trying to capture the timelessness and inevitability of war in general. The fabric of her camouflage dress fades into Gros' portrait of Napoleon & his troops on the viewer's right, and Goya's "Third of May" painting on your left. Lots of weapons, smoke, and violence in this one (at least compared to my more lighthearted works). The dark raven and the white dove of peace weigh in on this human folly, the little banners they are carrying are written in Latin script and loosely translate to "War - What is it good for?" and "Absolutely Nothing" (from the Edwin Starr song, of course!). The original piece sold at the show, but prints, canvases & posters are available. Stay tuned for Death and Famine later, and be sure to check out my gallery for Pestilence. This is my own original acrylic painting.

This card was so lovely and my granddaughter opened the card and hugged it as it had a unicorn on the front and her name
And I added a picture inside of us
And when her mummy Asked her who it was from she said my nanny and grandad and hugged the card she can’t read yet but knew who it was from. ❤️. Excellent quality of printing colour

We downloaded several photos which was simple and produced a very attractive personalised card for our 11yr old Granddaughter.
I was concerned that the card would not arrive on time but Zazzle came up trumps and the card arrived on the day before her birthday - perfect! I didn't see the card as it went straight to our family in New Zealand. However they did send a photo and it looked excellent!
