My House is Personal


I had to share this wonderful piece of art that I received as a birthday gift from my parents. I spotted it when visiting them over Christmas and instantly felt I NEEDED this in my home. I have long loved nests of all kinds, references to nests and nesting. Why? Who knows, probably because it best describes the way I want my family to feel when they come home to our "nest" - safe, loved, nutured ... Ahhh, just wait until mama bird pushes them out and makes them fly on their own.... Anyway, this painting just spoke to me. The artist is a young woman who has done a series of nest paintings as well as wonderful works of bicylces. I am thrilled to have one of her pieces hanging over my fireplace. This, among many other things, makes my home personal. What in your home makes it personal for you?

  3. That is a beautiful painting. I have a hard time connecting to artwork a lot of the time, so I am still searching for pieces that "speak" to me, but I do know what you mean. Enjoy it!
