NEST PAINTINGS
BREAKTHROUGH – Most of my nest paintings have focused on the gestation phase, symbolizing the time it takes for an embryonic idea to find its form. This one insisted on catching the liminal moment when the bird has broken through the shell, but has not yet emerged. The process is exhausting to the hatchling, requiring intense chipping away at the barrier followed by rest. This 4 ‘ x 4’ painting of a ground nest (spotted Towhee) was part of the juried Fine Arts Show at the Anacortes Arts Festival. Available for purchase, $2000.
