Long, Long ago...

In 1984, I painted this sweet porcelain bird! I found this treasure as I unpacked some of the last boxes from our move last June. I examined it carefully and wondered why did I only keep one since I had painted dozens at the time! But, I do give away most of the work I do. Because for the most part, all work is created with a certain person or persons in mind.
Oil paint was used, utilizing tiny bushes! You can see how thin the piece of porcelain is! This was meant to be an ornament, hence the reason for the wire hanger. Long, long ago, in 1984, where have the years gone? It's nostalgia at its best here in the studio today! Hoping you have memories that bring a smile to your heart as well! Take good care!
