30"x22" Prismacolor colored pencil on BFK Rives paper

"The Butterfly" reflects on the transformative path taken to become the butterfly. In both Buddha drawings (The Caterpillar and The Butterfly - the how and the why.) the symbolism is related to transformation: the caterpillar, the cocoon, the act of meditation, fire (candles are chakra colors) and the lotus. This also relates to the cycle of life and the process of transformation all living creations go through during their life cycle. The Buddha is Mahayana Buddhist based Buddha teachings that the path to enlightenment can be achieved by rightful thinking and proper action.
