Colored Pencil and Pastel Folk Art Drawing with Eagle to the Rescue! antique horse puppet Turning somethingI was drawn to the drama of this one, which I take for an allegory of sorts, with what I take as an eagle (though could be a hawk?) coming to the rescue of the dove that has been tethered by a fox (or coyote?)
