Sadly Jayne had a bluebird box that was abandoned this season. She thinks that perhaps a tree limb that fell nearby might have frightened them. Whatever the reason she discovered the nest and eggs when she cleaned out the box. I knew I wanted to take advantage of painting the pretty little eggs since it is rare that we get to see them.
great contrasts. The lighter shade of blue against the darker brown is obvious, but then think about the smooth shells against all the little sticks . . . the round shapes really set it off. Very well done!
OMG - this is beautiful! The colors, textures and the variations of each. I love nests! I have a small real tree limb mounted from one wall to the other near a corner in my computer/studio room (don't laugh) and resting in the fork of its limbs is a nest I found. ;-)
