"A Chance Encounter"


A little fairy met a large snail traveling across the forest floor.

The fairy said to the snail, "I have a simple question to ask you: Why are we here? I'm only asking you, Mr. Snail, because you always seem to crawl along with indecipherable purpose, and you seem indifferent to the goings on around you. This is surely a sign of enlightenment."

Of course, the snail only looked at her with detached curiosity before moving on with meandering purpose, leaving a glistening trail behind him.

The sketch... The snail in the painting was just a flash of inspiration while painting and was added spontaneously. After I painted it in, I had another flash and knew what their conversation would be! Serendipity.
