1035 Double Occupancy

 

I know it must seem like nest overload, but I just had to paint this in a large format.  What do you think?

1012 Three's a Crowd

 I am preparing for the summer gallery season, and this little painting at 6" x 6" x 1.5" fits right in with the "Taking Flight" show.  Nest painting is lots of fun, and very liberating.

607 Triplets

The owls, Spring weather, and a recent visit to Joanna Poehlmann's exhibit (my second) have put me in a mood to paint with a bird theme.  I have no idea what kind of bird eggs these are despite my effort to find out, because I found the photo on a copyright free site.  I guess it can be anything you want it to be.   If you have an idea, please let me know.

400 Overimprovement

My friend Ann gave me this beautiful nest, egg and feather.  It has so much going on in it--clever builders used a variety of interesting materials, including insulation (styrofoam).
I enjoyed painting it and may attempt it again in a more abstract way.

381 Occupied

We have nests in our gutters where they meet a corner of the house.  In many past Springs, we found baby birds by the back door, kicked out of the nest by mother.  So sad.  Mother Nature can be so cruel.
