Magical White Unicorn Paintings

Unicorns are what Fairy Tales are made of, I love these magical creatures. The Unicorn is often used in heraldry on coats of arms and flags around the world.  Did you know that the unicorn is the symbol of Scotland? The unicorn was chosen because it was seen as a proud and haughty beast which would rather die than be captured. The Scottish and the English Coat of Arms are quite similar, but the Scottish Unicorn is on the Left and the English Unicorn is on the right. You can read more about it here at wikipedia.

White Unicorn on Canvas



This Unicorn that I painted on canvas  is neither haughty nor proud, I'd say that she is more playful and whimsical.













Unicorn painting on wood



This White Unicorn is a little more regal. He has been painted onto wood.
He has a lovely silver mane and a pretty ribbon to hang it up.

Or if you prefer, it can popped onto a stand and displayed on a shelf.

    The unicorn is my favourite emoji, I send one to my daughter with every message, so I'm loving your very elegant versions.

    Unicorns are rather special. I didn't know they were linked to Scotland. Lovely paintings.

    That white unicorn is wonderful! Does it have a little glitter in it? I'm sure a child especially would love a glittery unicorn decoration.
