More babies on the way?

I am sitting here watching our collared doves as they build a new nest in one of our lilac trees right in front of this window! They are such devoted birds and come back every year, but this is the first year the nest has been built in our garden! The female is sitting at the nest site and the male keeps flying back to her with straw in it's mouth

'The Sorceress' is beautiful! I especially love that you just enhanced what you saw come forth. I love the whole flow of that piece, with the repetetive circular outward fanning pattern and the orange giving way to the black. It draws my eyes. Fantastic!

If only you knew what I had intended to paint! LOL! That is the beauty of encaustic wax though. You let it dictate to you and see what happens, then just develop it. She was just there, slightly headless though! Just the mere hint of a head really. But everything else was pur accident! It's a great media to work with! You have to try it someday, Ili!

Aw those poor birds, I hope they get to have a nest of baby birdies, can't have them extinct now can we lol.
Fine work as usual Maria, I especially like the Arcturus one, just has a really ancient feel to it and mysterious!
Have fun at the zoo!

They're all lovely... but the Sorceress is definitely my favourite... it's gorgeous!

Yes..she is definitely a winner, isn't she. Reckon she'll be in the next exhibition too!
