In the midst of winter...

I've been missing you so much, mom, it doesn't help that I'm reading a novel about a boy who lost his mother.   With you on my mind so much, birds have been making their way into my art more and more.

I'm contemplating a painting of some loons but in the mean time, I made this silly collage using titmouse images, I thought it was quite funny.

This past Sunday and again today, I had the treat of seeing a flock of cedar waxwings, they are so beautiful to see all in a flock picking berries.    I can't seem to train my brain to stop putting things in the category to tell you about later.
