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 breaks through the shell, but has not yet emerged. The process is exhausting for the hatchling, requiring intense chipping away, followed by deep 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.
