Cecil Collins: Angel
The image depicts an angel tending, as would a gardener, the Bush of Vision. The angel nourishes fire and vision alike.
Cecil Collins is perhaps one of the greatest English visionary artists since Blake and Palmer. His vision of the lost Paradise was characterised with his own archetypes, the Poet, the Fool and the Angel.
