''The Nest, From Our Window Each Morning''
original art
18x18
black petunia pigment & oil paint on canvas
$625
This painting was composed after the discovery of a robin’s nest which could only be seen from my bedroom window. It was nestled at the top of a cherry tree with soft pink blooms. The downy textures of the brushwork are suggestive of gentle light at dawn, while the strongest colors of the painting were matched to that of a robin’s eggshell.
This artwork is part of the July 2024 ‘To the Woods’ collection. The series is filled with the buzzing humming energy of full summer. This energy surrounded me each time I sat down to paint. For this series I worked almost exclusively outdoors, in the flower fields around the Wood’s Market Garden farmstand as well as in some of my favorite fields near Middlebury, Vermont. Bees often landed on my canvas looking for pollen amongst the colors. I hope these paintings remind you of these full bustling days of summer, even when they have given way to the stillness of quieter seasons.
Please consider measurements carefully before purchase and take the time to view colors on different monitors, as colors may appear different on different devices. I have done my best to represent all artworks accurately. All works are signed, stamped, and titled individually by the artist.
Note that your purchase does not include a frame. This mounted canvas original arrives ready to hang with picture wire, so it doesn’t need to live in a frame. If you are unsure about framing, I have created a guide for you here.
