At the center of this painting sits a carefully woven nest cradling four bright blue eggs, perched securely in the fork of a tree. Surrounding the nest are layers of lush oak leaves, painted in vibrant shades of green with depth and variation. Two small black-and-white feathers rest delicately at the nest’s edge, a tender sign of the parent birds nearby.

I chose the wood thrush because its song adds a sense of spirituality and wonder to the quiet forest. They are elusive birds, and finding a nest feels like discovering a sacred moment. The number four holds no special symbolism here, but the evenness creates a sense of balance and synchronicity within the nest. To me, this piece feels clean and accurate — a simple, perfect emblem of the weekend wanderer who treasures these fleeting glimpses of wild beauty.
