Nest With Three Eggs


Nest With Three Eggs
5 x 7 in  watercolor on Yupo paper

Another piece painted in the car. 
The road bumps can be very handy!

How about this nest below?
Small snake OR big egg!!!


It was forwarded to me but I have no name to pass on for credit

  1. Ah Julie - I love your painted nest but you can have the other one...snakes are definitely not on my well-loved list (LOL)! You are doing lovely work on Yupo. Naturally I am drawn to those bird's nests. Take care and have a great week.

  2. Another wonderful Yupo piece. I love all the colors included in the rendering of the nest. They go so nicely with the blue background. Again the textures you create in your work with this surface are fascinating! They add another mesmerizing quality.

  8. Oh...three babies to be in your nest! I love it. There is a cozy warmth to the inside of the nest that makes me want to curl up in it myself! As to the snake...yikes! Is his head resting on that egg or is his mouth open to eat it whole? Yikes!

  10. A strong contrast between the tender nest of your beautiful painting and the nest with egg and snake!
    How many ancestral symbols speak to us through these signs (nest egg and snake).

    The picture creates a reaction in me ... I run away!
    But you are very brave in front of these surprises, dear Julie and I remember other posts written by you, with images and situations that would give me a heart attack! You are a great artist and a woman of great courage!

  14. Yikes! Big snake.

    I love all of these nest series-the last one in particular but I really like this one also. Another productive time in the car:)

  15. I have yet to paint in my car. That's amazing. If there's bumps in there, they fit right it. Your nest paintings are outstanding. The subject is an unusual one for me; no fascination there. But your paintings of them do fascinate; they speak of potential life. Then again, I like the snake in the next photo too. That's life too. All God's Children have to eat!
