Description
This is one of the most popular pieces I have made (besides "Scapegoat Healing" which has a similar style).
Featured is a unicorn at rest in the millefleurs (translation: many flowers) with a hummingbird hovering ahead. This piece was done in the tradition of "The Lady and the Unicorn", a tapestry from the Renaissance era. In fact, this unicorn is more in keeping with the olde style (a cross between a goat-like creature and a horse-like creature), and not the new style where a horse has a horn.
symbolism:
* unicorn: purity, innocence, the divine, enlightenment, magic. The unicorn has been known to swoon at the sight of a faire maiden who is pure of heart, and to even fall asleep in her lap, and to be an independent creature of high intelligence. The unicorn could not be captured without its attraction to a woman. The unicorn's horn has been known to purify water. The unicorn was described during Renaissance times as an extremely wild woodland animal that could not be tamed.
* hummingbird: joy, playfulness, uplifting, transforming negative energy, swiftness, resiliency.
* heart: love, sensuality, unity, cohesiveness, reflection
* millefleurs: abundance, growth, fertility, creativity, freedom from hunger, heightened respect for nature
