The Bird Waits in the Egg #2
About this artwork
The title of this series of studies of bird's eggs is a phrase from a quote by James Allen The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities. The egg is created by collaging real eggshells onto the canvas and then painting to add color and dimension. The sides of the gallery wrapped canvas are finished as a continuation of the background and the back is wired.
