Glowing Goldfinch original colored pencil drawing

This piece may look like the exact opposite of Warbler in the Void, a goldfinch moves from a blue sky toward the dark woods. However, there’s a sun rising through these woods. These aren’t the same dark woods the warbler left behind. The goldfinch also isn’t coming from the realm of blue sky in the first place, he’s beyond it. This goldfinch has transcended the need to exist in a place at all. He is perfectly comfortable existing in liminal spaces, knowing that while he can inhabit a place, he is not actually a part of it. With this mindset he can return to the dark woods of his former trauma. Thus enlightened he can see the woods as they really are, and that he needn’t fear them after all.

This is an original drawing made with Caran d'Ache Pablo colored pencils on paper. It measures 9x12 inches and ships unframed.
