About this artwork
The pastel is applied by first crumbling it onto the paper in small amounts, and then smoothing it across the surface by hand. The mountain areas are made using a dip pen with fine nib, or mechanical pencil.
The title takes inspiration from the R.S.Thomas poem The Bright Field.

Perhaps a sharpened awareness of what is already present within and without, is what truly leads to renewal, lest we manage to loose our Self in the seeking of it.
Many wisdom traditions teach that the presence of true longing can only ever be for something that is already known in some way, and can be greeted as the resonance within an individual of a universal life, or the call of the divine.
