Hi Jeanne,
Is more than one year that i admire this particular oil of yours; the nests you paint are really moving and inspirational. Your sensibility and love of nature are self evident.
Stunning!

Thank you SOOO much, Mariano! It is my hope that through my paintings people will appreciate the beauty and fragility of nature which is so often overlooked, and to realize that our daily actions often impact these earthly gifts (i.e. lawn chemicals poison or kill insects that are eaten by birds that either starve or give birth to deformity) and on a global level with what we purchase, discard, etc. Together we can make a positive impact by committing to be stewards of our precious Earth...one person...one action at a time....
