Nesting

This painting is from my Home series where most of the topics and subjects were about my life, my home, interactions with family, friends and pets. Home as a state of mind. Home as in Earth abundant with trees, hills, plants, rocks and all creatures large and small. This series also expressed a completeness that i was feeling and continue to feel. A feeling that i belonged....a feeling that i was home in my skin mentally, emotionally and physically. Nesting is literally as its title suggests, a nest of a bird with her tiny family of yet to be hatched eggs. The mother bird has found a safe space amongst a human household's many flowering plants amidst a cluster of pots. It's their home till they learn to fly. This painting is a true story right out of my garden. There are homes everywhere we look. Small, large and all creatures upon this Earth creating safe spaces for their little ones to thrive and survive life on our planet.
