"A Little Bird Stirred in my Heart"

​​SEA URCHINS & NESTS
 ​     In the beginning, a nest with sea urchins caught my eye.  I'd found these little treasures on my bush and beach wanders in Mallacoota, and left them on a windowsill. 
     One day this unintentioned arrangement called to be painted - the messy concoction of the woven nest and perfect architecture of the urchins.  That first painting was snapped up by a TV writer friend.

IS IT A CALLING?
​     I still love to paint nests and sea urchins, it is as if a little bird stirs in my heart each time.   
     They give me the greatest possible pleasure and I do not intend this to be my last visit with them!  ​I hold these in great affection. 

​THOUGHTS ON THIS PAINTING
    So, this is the most recent.  It has been shortlisted in an adjudicated exhibition, and is titled "A Little Bird Stirred in My Heart". 
     It greets the thoughts  and the stories behind the many nest and sea urchin paintings across the years.
