Description
This is from a colored pencil and ink sketch on bristol board.
My intention was to try something light, airy and somewhat floral with firebirds and roses together. Generally I make firebirds with dark night backgrounds, so I wanted to see what they would look like with a whiter background.
I started the firebird series in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The firebird seemed to be apt for the times with wildfires on the west coast, the virus moving like a raging fire through the country, towns and cities ...
The thing about the firebird is that it is a transcendental bird in that it practically re-incarnates. Legend has it that if you see a firebird, or dream of one, it is a healing bird. It is supposed to remind you that you can rise again. In mythology, it is a wise bird too, and healing can sometimes bring you to wisdom.
There are a limited number of products because the drawing is small and I wasn't sure how it would translate when enlarged.
This is my own original art work.
