"The Goldfinch" (11x14 Print) Prints are created using 100% archival quality ink on textured cotton paper. Each print is hand-signed on the back and includes a copy of the drawing's story. This drawing was originally created in pen and ink. Story Behind the Drawing The Goldfinch is the third drawing in my bird series. These drawings focus on different bird species and the mood that each bird inspires. Goldfinches are lighthearted summer birds that enjoy flying. To me, they also have a royal connotation due to their namesake and coloring. In this piece, the Goldfinch hangs flowers from a royal Rococo frame, with a castle and valley in the background.
