Painting this image was slightly reactionary!
My BFA review panel strongly suggested that fairies might not really be considered fine art.
So...I drew some more fairies!
But these ones are serious! See, they are playing chess. An intellectual pursuit. And see, pathos...the losing fairy is devastated and the winning one elated.
Devastation/ elation; it all depends on your perspective.
I also tried to show a lot of 3 dimensional perspective in the chess board ; perspective again.
Fine art / pretty fairy pictures; perspective.
Who says I am not a deep thinker?
P.S. My husband and I play 3-4 chess games a day on this board.
