"Bird's Nest with Robin Eggs"

Bird's Nest with Robin Eggs

12" x 12"

Oil on Hardboard

Robins are everywhere in our neck of the woods. It is one of my favorite birds. They are the first to return in the spring and are truly remarkable. I wake to their presence every morning. This painting reminds me of their cheerful song and colorful appearance.

Today, I'm working on one more nest painting. It might very well be my last in this series. You see, I moved my cherished nest, that I used as my model, to my work table and our kitten got a hold of it. Well you can imagine, he tore it to shreds. I found the remains scattered all over the studio floor. My delicate nest - gone! So, no more nest paintings until I can find another empty nest later this season.
