Print Description:
Did you ever have one of those days when it felt like you had a pelican on your head? It's par for the course in James C. Christensen's work, where the mystery of human emotion can be manifested into fish and/or fowl.

This once mighty ruler, who may have fallen on hard times in the lake of life, evokes memories of the artist's most popular prints, and supplies much meat for both the mind and eye. Filled with the sumptuous detail Christensen is renowned for, and made even more vivid by the gold trim and debossed image of our exclusive Cameo Collection styling, you could say this lovable royal is a real bird-brain.

"This image seems to have undertones of both comedy and pathos. I don't know if I've figured it all out. The stick becomes a scepter, and the bent keys, symbols of obsolete power. The onion becomes an orb, an ancient symbol of sovereignty. Its sprout may mean rebirth. Mythologically, a single wing means someone lost in a dream. Yet a pelican has chosen to build a nest on him, which seems symbolic of his purposefulness. He has a permanence about him, but this painting remains enigmatic for me."

-- James C. Christensen
