Nesting Time
This weekend was spectacular for working outside and cleaning up the gardens. As I was enjoying this huge task , I noticed lots of birds very happy with what I turned up... worms, grasses and bugs. I was constantly entertained by their business
They were working hard also, finding mates and building nests. I noticed many birds with stuff hanging out of their peaks.... looking for that perfect site....
This all inspired me to look into their types of nests and color of eggs. I wanted to paint a few... so here is a few of my friends.... I am eager to build some nesting boxes so we can watch the process more closely....
These guys are not in my yard.... but was doing seagull studies this week, so I posted them in for variety :).....
Take some time and look out your windows.... a lot is happening in the bird world :)
enjoy

This is Jay, Aunty Ruth & Uncle Artie's Godson.
I think of you and Billy so often and decided to google you and found your blog.
Your paintings are breathtaking, so full of life. I have several of your Mom's paintings in our home in Vermont and a wonderful illustration you did of a lion and gave me when I was a child now hangs in my youngest daughter's room.
I'm so, so happy to know that you are well and have continued to create your beautiful art.
I have lived in Vermont for many years and I know Vermont was your home at one time. Whenever I go to Burlington I think- Maybe I'll bump into Dee.
I would love to be in touch. My email is jay@cavallarofilms.com and my home phone number is 802.375.2448.
So happy to have seen your beautiful artwork and read your words.
Love,
Jay
P.S. My best to Billy.
