JUNE: 609

June - Robin 609
encaustic and mixed media on birch 8x10
They are busy - Momma and Daddy Robin.  Lots of worms to fetch to feed the wee babies.  Every robin's nest has 4 Robin's blue eggs to start.  If Momma lays 4 and I was to take one away and leave her 3 - she would lay another to make 4.  If she were to lay 1 and I put 3 in her nest - she would stop because there are 4.  Remarkable, actually.

  1. You know it's spring when you see this little mama in your yard in the southwest of B.C.! So beautiful and realistic! I love how proud she looks and how her little leg is up!
