"Bird's Nest with Bird Names in Black & White"

"Bird's Nest with Bird Names in Black & White"  12" x 12"  
Oil on Hardboard, #5 in the Series of Bird's Nests

Yesterday I studied and stared at this unfinished painting, 
then I jumped in and finished it. That was my goal for the 
day; complete this painting. I used a deep, rich blue-black 
in it's many degrees of gray, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  
When I finished, I asked myself, "What part of me is in this 
painting?" That was easy to answer, the names of the birds 
that surround and form the nest speaks of my interest in 
words and categorizing letters, fonts, etymology, groupings 
of words and collections of names. The nest rests on pine 
branches that demonstrates where the nest was found. 
I love the outcome, hope you do too.
