Surreal art galleries: Pen & ink sketch: Fairy pictures
The online surreal art galleries contain a matched set of fairy pictures: an original pen & ink sketch (below) and an acrylic based oil painting. One subject, two different fairy pictures :) Fairies are mythological symbols from deep within us. This makes fairies very potent symbols indeed, and most excellent fodder for surreal art :) Originally created as a wedding present for a friend, I changed my mind and gave another sketch instead. This is the earliest posted work of art in the fairy pictures category and only uses one inking technique: crosshatching. PLEASE NOTE: the frames were purposefully distressed for effect. Click here to return to the pen & ink sketch (first of two fairy pictures).

This is a close-up view of an original piece of fairy art, one of many fairy pictures located throughout the online drawing and painting galleries. Early pieces put the fairies (symbols) in fantasy based settings whereas later works are much more surrealistic. Price, dimensions, artist notes, shipping details (etc.), for this original piece of art can be found on the artwork gallery page -- click here to return there :)
