The
blue birds that spend every summer on my land and catch and devour
bugs, leaving body parts on my deck railing have entertained me
for years. They have learned to follow me around on my mower and
pounce on the bugs stir up. Partly the Idea for this painting
where they are inspecting a possible home site came from watching
two pairs have a serious altercation over the one dilapidated
nest box hung in the pasture. They sure did not want to share,
but both couples absolutely refused the new box I hung. I suppose
that’s why I chose to have them inspecting an old fence
post in the painting.
