I was fortunate to have three paintings selected by the Juror for display in this year’s Small Art Show. (For this show, each piece must be no more than 12 inches in height or width).
The Show Opening was on Friday, Nov 18, 2024, complete with live ukulele music! The Show will run until Jan 10, 2025.
If you’re in the area, go along and take a look! There’s a lot of enjoyable art there.
I painted it entirely with a palette knife.
As I was raking up the leaves in the fall, I found this small and beautiful nest on the grass. All sorts of fibers are wound into it; pieces of grass, trash and even animal, and possibly human, hair. It is such a marvel of skillful engineering that I wanted to celebrate it in a painting.
I placed it with a maple leaf (from our lawn) and an oak leaf (that probably blew across the street from the neighbor’s yard) and gave it a title that is in line with our stage of life-they’re nearly all gone!
Painted with Geneva Oil Paints.

8 x 8 in, oil on linen panel. Always a delight to paint.
