TINY NEST

Day 84


This is the second tiny nest that my daughter
has found in her backyard that has a lining of
what appears to be course, long animal hair.  They
are the prettiest nests I have ever seen, and
would love to know what type of bird builds it.
I painted the other nest like this after placing a tiny
porcelain doll baby in it, and this time I
used some tiny eggs.  Something tells me I'll
be painting these delicate nests again.

Oh it is so pretty and delicate. I was amazed to see it was such a small painting. You did wonderful details especially with it being so little.

You've captured the soft fluff the eggs are resting on. Nice painting!
