Description
Idealistic Eagle with a Blue Egg is the color version of Eagle with an Egg. The idea for this came to me in a dream and I could not shake the imagery. I can't tell you what it means/symbolizes because I'm not clear on that myself. Phrases like "dependance on oil," and "over protective mother," and "world's police force" keep popping into my head every time I look at it. All I ask is, before you organize a lynch party to come after me, try looking at it another way. I'd be interested to know what kinds of meanings/ideas it arouses for you.

Thank you so much Marian for your very insightful comments. I love hearing what others see in the pieces I produce.

I'm not quite sure what to say about this, Melinda! My first thoughts are that it appears to be an expression of patriotism; of love of country. But, his face does look angry, so maybe not happy about things going on recently, but those claws are clutching onto something, I think may be the world, like he's fighting to hold on! Anyway, it's an extraordinary piece of art! LF

Love this painting....It immediately brought thoughts of patriotism to me....and perhaps protective in nature.
