The Rise of the Phoenix

Title: The Rise of the Phoenix
Size: 20 x 24
Medium: Oil on gallery wrapped canvas

See tonight's eBay auction for purchase.

PAINTING:
This original oil has a bright underpainting of oranges, reds and blues. When dry I layered it richly with the highest quality oils, Winsor Newton Artist oils, and the brilliant creature is emerges.
INSPIRATION:
I've always liked the notion of this mythical bird. The rebirth of the bird from the flames is a great metaphor for so many of us in so many ways and tells a story of hope and rejuvination. Hope it inspires you!
