This studio painting was done using a photo taken by my friend Margie Germain and used with her permission. This finch nest was in her hanging basket planter. The egg covered in spots is a cowbird egg. Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds nedt and let them raise them. So they are essentially really bad lazy patents. I loved painting the gentle and subdued change in values within the eggs. Also the textures of the nedt itself was a hoot to paint.
