Heaven and Earth
In this pen and ink drawing, a majestic toad stands proudly with its back adorned by two scrolls. One bearing the name of the heavens and the other that of the earth which signify balance and harmony between the spiritual and physical worlds. Done with remarkable detail, the toad is depicted with pitch-black eyes which have a slight reflection, a contented expression, and a third eye opened on its forehead. The third eye is typically associated with spiritual insight, intuition, and higher consciousness. The drawing exudes a sense of serenity and naturalism, making it easy to appreciate the toad's spiritual and symbolic role as a protective figure, often associated with good luck and fortune, transformation, and change. A truly remarkable piece that invites the viewer to contemplate the toad's profound spiritual significance and to appreciate its natural beauty and majesty. This pen and ink drawing has been created using Faber-Castell materials and Micron pens and measures at 8 ½’x 6”.
