It all started with a snapshot I had taken of Ric at Victoria Station. If you have never been to that station, it's a very old victorian train station, and to this day has kept some of its old charm. It generally reminds me of faerie tales. It was a decent shot, and I felt I wanted to paint it. However, just painting it "as is" would have been a bit boring. His expression was priceless, and something (most likely the afore mentioned fact about Victoria Station) sparked the idea of adding a faerie. With a twist...


_{Started in April this year, this piece bugged the hell out of me pretty much from the beginning. Why? Oh... just so, you know. Too much detail and all that jazz. I left it untouched for quite some time, and picked it up again a week ago. And please don't ask me how I managed to finish it. I don't know. My fingers hurt.}
