Discovering Truth In Ancient Fables

Discovering Truth In Ancient Fables

Saying Goodbye to A Good Friend

May 21, 2020 in character design, fantasy art, Fian Arroyo, giclee print, water color and ink

Last Week I said good bye to one of my flagship pieces, "Discovering Truth In Ancient Fables" a watercolor and ink piece that was created in 2014 when I first started this fantasy art journey. It is on my business cards and other marketing materials and was my first piece to be recognized by a fantasy art awards book. It was included in the Spectrum volume 22 book. It was a piece I've never offered for sale and was reluctant to part with, along with a few others, for sentimental reasons. A collector of my work who now owns several of my original paintings, asked a couple months ago if it was available and I replied that I was almost ready to let go but just give me a little more time and to touch base every now and then. Well, persistence works, I finally was ready to let it go because I know it will be going to an awesome home and share the same space as it's siblings where it will be loved very much.

It's always bittersweet to part with a piece that's close to the heart because no matter how accurate a print is...it never quite matches up to an original. That's why they are originals. I do get visitation rights though. :-)

I do have this as prints in my shop, just click HERE to seeto check it out.

Stay safe…stay scareful! 😊😷
