Foot in the door 4 is now over. It was a show at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts that was around 5,000 artists strong and featured my friend Carie Shoen's delightfully funny bird sculpture. (My illustration Scared Dog was also on display) Carie's big bird flew all the way to my house after the show ended last week. And he landed in a pile of sticks by my hydrangeas. Go figure. I guess the cute baby bird thought it was the next best thing to a nest. Thank goodness my husband Dean always insists on keeping a big pile of sticks lying around. He knows how I love the stick piles. Ha! Well, when I discovered that sweet bird out there all alone I brought him into my studio right away. And he's obviously loved by someone because he's wearing a sparkly fringed collar. Maybe it's one of those tracking devices and someday he'll be able to find his way back home. But for now he's making me smile. No kitties allowed in the studio while big baby bird is here!

Oh my! That is the most adorable cute little birdie! I thought at first it was a fledgling, and then I saw the sparkly collar, and realized he's only real in my mind! I love him, and I'm glad you've made him a home...
Isn't he precious!
Oops! Sorry!
Cute especially that tuft on the head! :)
Like the gentle and trusting look in its eyes...
Sigh. I love your facebook cat profile. If I had your talent, I could illustrate my Native American/Celtic middle grade fable, THE BEAR WITH 2 SHADOWS.
Oh, well, you can't have everything. I mean, where would you put it? Roland
