Carolina Wren

There was a pair of Carolina Wren's building a nest right outside my bathroom window when I was painting this painting. They were very industrious gathering materials for their nest. While humanity was holding its breath at the beginning of the Coronavirus epidemic, these two small creatures were preparing to bring a new life into our world. The world expands and contracts. That is the rhythm of things.
