The Firebird, 32" x 48," oil
The painting is a visual allegory of the fairy tale. The Firebird is eating golden apples. In each apple are scenes from the fairy tale.
Prince Ivan tries to capture the Firebird for his father, the King. He pursues the bird
and in each golden apple are scenes from the fairy tale. The Firebird would be brought back alive.
Prince Ivan's journey begins by catching only one feather. His hands are in the form of praying hands. Sometimes we aren't sure if we’re reaching beyond our grasp or
if the goal will be attainable. In this instance, Ivan gets a small taste of the magnificent ideal. He can envision the possibilities. He might have to be content with the small portion he’s able to grasp (the feather). If he can get the entire bird alive, he’ll fulfill his destiny. He knows from one feather, the bird is as magnificent as he imagined,
maybe more.
