This painting has gone through so many transformations through the years. I’ve had the canvas for seven years. Working and re-working ideas, taking them to their stopping point and then going on to create something new.
I love walking outside in Alaska. I love her birch trees.
I’m getting married in a week, lots to do. So right now, forgive me if a lengthy diatribe is forgone. Cheers.

About Benjamin Allen Ellis
Some phoenix mythologies talk of the soul's hierarchy in terms of birds. The eagle being our pinnacle, the phoenix right below, constantly burning and dying and rebirthing in order to find itself born eagle.
Since 2000, and my first public art show, I've used the Phoenix as a rallying cry for myself to take hold of what I want and keep 'rebirthing' until I get it. After eight years, it was time to consciously move on up. Hey - I'm goin' eagle.
I love the texture!!!
