Description
These twin Mourning Doves first sat on a wire above my tiny deck. One chirped to the other "Is she the one?" "Yep" the other replied and they quickly flew away. Then they came back to pose for me in silhouette at twilight. My inner self told me that these were descendants of the twins that were hatched in a nest built in a flowerpot on my deck five years ago and became famous. I took numerous photos of the.parents sitting on the eggs, the progress of hatching, growing and flying away. The babies returned to my deck every day for about two weeks to sit on the back of a chair or the railing to look at me. I painted a whimsical series of all these events and sold the paintings in my Lucinda Art Gallery in my home here in Baltimore. Now the great, great, great grandchildren have traced their roots.
