This painting is a part of the Phoenix series and the inspiration emerged from the mythology and the poem of Elizabeth Davidson.

"The Rising Flames"

The Fire's roar intensives
the liquid flames begin to bubble.
A loud Screech drowns out it all away.
The red and gold shine brightly as they begin to rise.

A shape begins to form.
The fluid rises higher like a fountain,
never seeming to stop.
A blistering shape spreads from the rising flames.

Wings droping golden embers,
falling back from whence they came.
A tail soon follows the shape,
draped around the pillar like a long streamer.

Newly revealed talons shine a new gold,
stretching up from the long legs stretched out.
The Phoenix has risen again,
her flames rekindled with life.

To fly over a world of deceit and destruction,
to be a symbol of hope for all.
