'Tree of life' and the 'cosmic egg'
I recently completed a painting of the Tree of life as the cosmic egg with blackbird. The tree is a yew I planted in front of the house some years ago and which I have been shaping into an 'egg' form ever since. This spring until early summer a blackbird pair nested there - hence the painting. Shown here is a photograph of the tree and the painting derived from it.

I love this egg of yours! Only wish the image were bigger so I might envision the painting better.

Thank you for the comment about the 'egg'painting. I'm afraid I have not worked out how the Blog web site enlarges paintings. I have emailed you a larger image.
