Regarding the meaning of my work it starts with an image. (see attached abstract below). I started working on this piece thinking that I wanted to communicate several things. My love of country, My love of Texas, and something iconic and true to my abstract heart. I started with this abstract and instantly saw an eagle which I flushed out. Then I used the Lone Star with fields of blue and red to represent Texas. The eagle to me is a great symbol for America because it flies high, representing beauty, peace, power and escape. I am grateful to be in America as an artist and escapist to make my living and my life and express my love of freedom in this way. Positive Art Change Everything - William H. Miller
