Soul of the Forest

The power of nature, the power of life. The sea, the sky, the earth. Even during the coldest winter, nature finds its way, its beauty remains. Listen to nature, accept its message, and nature's power shall reveal itself, and awaken the slumbering spirit.

This is a submission to MagicalWoods 's contest with the theme 'The spirit of nature'.
Gosh, I loved drawing this, it was very relaxing, and I loved drawing all the twisting branches. Very happy with how it turned out!
In my drawing, the spirit of nature appears in the shape of an antlered owl with a triquetra, a celtic symbol of trinity, on its chest. In this case it symbolises the three main powers of nature: sea, sky and earth. However, feel free to try to discover more trinities within this drawing.

Coloured pencils and white gel pen on black paper. Returned the original effect of the drawing (which was taken away by the camera) in Photoshop.
