From the poem The Stolen Child by W. B. Yeats
Painting is The Changeling by Henry Fuseli

"Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."

Fairy paintings are strongly rooted in the literary and theatrical influences of Romanticism, as well as in the cultural issues facing the Victorian era. Henry Fuseli and William Blake produced works that would be indicative of the later genre even before 1800.

Wild thyme gathered from a fairy hill will enable you to glimpse the fairy world. Placed under your pillow, it will keep away the night mare.

The ofris are a humanoid plant race I created. No two ofris look alike because each mimics a member of another race. Tahu, for example, looks like a goblin.
Love how captured a floral version of Fuseli's "The Nightmare" between Tahu and a hobgob.

FUSELI'S PUCK (c.1790) has bat wings rather than butterfly wings; his enchantments are far from innocent. The other fairies flee in this image where he is full of movement. He boasts he can 'put a girdle round the earth in forty minutes' (MSND)

An Alp is a supernatural being in German folklore. It is sometimes likened to a vampire, but its behavior is more akin to that of the incubus. The word Alp is the German form of the word that comes into English as 'elf'.

THE MIDGARD SERPENT or Jörmungandr. Offspring of the giantess Angrboða & Loki, so huge that its coils stretch right around the world. When Thor baits it with an ox head Jörmungandr vomits poison & blood before sinking back into the sea
