Why do wizards always have giant chairs to sit in?

This was near done about a year or so ago, perhaps more, when it got corrupted after saving it. I was pretty dejected about that, because it was shaping up quite nicely at the time (although I was just learning painter and not as adept at using it as I [hopefully] am now.) The only undamaged image of it I had was a small jpg about 1000 pixels tall so I had pretty much given up on it.

As all these other previously unfinished pictures, I opened it up randomly and worked on it over the past week or two, in between other projects. Although this one was more challenging because I had to resize it larger and smooth out the artifacting. It took a while but overall I think this fits what my original idea was, way back when. I was going to add a few more faerie things but I liked the personal thing going on here.

As usual there might be some meanings you could attach to it, but I'll let people decide that on their own.

Ah, and thanks a lot to everyone who comment(s/ed) on stuff lately, I can't possibly reply to everything but it really means a lot to me. Thanks.
