I am happy to announce a design collaboration with Assaf Pelleg, a clothing designer from Israel.  The art is mine and the design is by Assaf Pelleg.  

This is so sad.   After the heavy rains, I was in my back yard and found a dead baby bird.  I looked up and it had fallen through a hole in this nest.  The heavy rains must have been too much for the nest structure and weight of the baby bird.  I think it was a baby robin. So I got some paper towels and placed the bird in the flowers, the lily of the valley and such by the edge of the yard.      

Not sure the name of this bird but I took many photos of him and his friends in Costa Rica.  They were very busy in the morning rapping on the windows and flitting about eating fruit and singing. I painted an oil painting of this little bird... I also love the purple flowers near him.  I really need to learn all the flowers I saw in Costa Rica (and the names of the birds) because there are so, so many and they are all beautiful.
