The False Shining and the True

Original Art by Cassandra Brown

The Red Bull herding the unicorns into the sea is more than a moment of pursuit, it is a metaphor for how fear, illusion, and the expectations of the world can bury what is genuine. Peter S. Beagle writes that unicorns once knew “the difference ‘twixt the two—the false shining and the true.” It is a reminder that the greatest magic is not immortality or power, but the ability to see clearly: beyond appearances, beyond performance, and into the quiet truth of ourselves and one another.

This painting is on birch panel, measuring 10″ x 8″ and the edges are painted. The back has a wire for hanging.
