June 2, 2011 Felicia's Nest


Felicia's Nest/ graphite on paper/ 30"x22"

Felicia gave me this nest. She found it in her back yard. It is a lovely nest, I think probably a robin's nest. It is made basically with mud, and then the twigs are added. It is deep, and looks like a nice round basket. What a wonderful place for a nursery! And so perfectly suited to New Mexico, adobe.

Wow, it is so beautiful. Isnt it amazing how tiny little birds can build their own dwelling? without hands? Wow.

Beautiful--Felicia's nest, and yours, which you have rendered so perfectly. Remarkable inventions, both.

I think I told you already how much I love this sketch. But I will say it again...love it. Make some prints and sell them Annell. I would buy! Wouldn't they make great cards, wrapping paper, wall art...you name it!@
