"Unseelie Court: Death" Greeting Card Kaart

The third painting in a series I'm debuting called "The Unseelie Court" - specifically for the subset inspired by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - this is is the piece I painted "live" as a demostration at my gallery at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Each painting in my Unseelie Court series van belangrijke individuele of professionele picts in 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 race despite being wicked they will have a beautiful and refinded elegance about them... This particular painting in the series symbolizes "Death". I tried to use a variety of death imagery from many culture and centuries past - pre-Columbian Central American carvings, Egyptian Book of the Dead, medieval/renaissance Europe and beyond (her scythe has a differly contemporary video game feel...). So many great references in this one, really speaks to the Art History nerd in me (especially Saturn Eating His Children in her skirts, and the Burial at Ornans funeral). Het origineel piece sold, prints, canvases & posters are available. Stay tuned for Famine later, before I begin on the Unseelie Court: Deadly Sins subset. This is my own original acrylic painting.
