Charlie and the New Nest


If you remember from an earlier post, my kitty destroyed my first bird's nest. Well, as luck would have it, we found another bird's nest in a pine tree in the backyard yesterday! It's bigger than the first nest that I had and oh, what wonderful twigs & branches! I'm putting it aside to use for my next painting. I'm still working on the painting I've been calling, "Bird's Nest Sparkle." The technique I'm using is very time consuming, but the surface is fresh and very textural. I'm happy with it's progress, albeit slow. I should be done by week's end. In the meantime, I'll share a photo of the new bird's nest from the yard. As you can see, there's a lot of interest already from the peanut gallery. I'm storing this on the top shelf away from reaching paws!
