Nestled

"Nestled"
6" x 8"
Oil on Hardboard
I visited a home a few days ago that had a nest like this displayed under a bell-shaped dome. I became so infatuated with the nest, cut from branches in her own yard that I had someone photograph it for me. This is something like her nest, but as we know, each one is a work of art that can't really be duplicated.  

I adore these tidy, woody vessels where some of nature's most fragile elements get to tenant safely.

The Yolk's on Humpty

"The Yolk's on Humpty"
12" x 12"
Oil on hardwood panel 
It's my birthday—The Winter Solstice—the longest night of the year.  This whimsical piece demonstrates how I feel about life. Sometimes ya balance, sometimes ya break. Better learn to make omelets!


My recent egg paintings prompted someone to give Ol' Humpty, here, to me.  He was from a Happy Meal.  I collect small chairs, nests and birds, so Humpty seemed like a logical addition.

Fresh Eggs

The crate had tipped, but you know those brown egg shells, they're tough;  irregular in shape, size and color, too. 


I acquired this cute egg crate from an artist-friend. She would have enjoyed seeing how I used it.

This painting is for purchase through a Dailypaintworks.com Auction.  Or just visit my gallery on that site by clicking here.

Thank you for visiting today.
