New Paintings

Some paintings of birds nests have found their way onto my easel lately. 

I have always had a fascination with bird nests.  Just looking at all those intricately woven bits of grass fills me with wonder.  I think; how does a tiny little bird know how to do that?  How is it that each nest is different from species to species yet the nests are basically the same style within one species?  How can mama bird fashion a home from bits of grass and twigs that is strong enough to withstand wind yet soft enough to cradle fragile eggs?  How can she make it so perfectly formed to hold just the right amount of babies?  How many hours does she work to build the nest?

So many questions.

Only her creator knows.  He put the secrets in her.

Looking at a bird nest I wonder; "What has He put in me?  What are His secrets?  Do I already know, deep inside what I should do?  Do I already know how to do it?"

I am learning to trust that innate wisdom.  To trust that when I show up in the studio it will guide me.  Put this here...put that there...

Creating with the Creator.
