'Letter to Chloe'

During the 2010 Fall Migration I was excited to discover warblers stopping in my back yard to feed on a Cedar Tree. It was quite by accident that I saw them as I took kitchen scraps out to the compost but there they were busy feeding and hopping from one branch to another. I began to think what would these little travelers write if they were to send a postcard back home to their Summer grounds.

Thus 'Letter to Chloe' is a first in a series of mixed media pieces of these traveling little wonders.

The meaning of Chloe: Means 'Green Shoot' or 'Verdant And Blooming' in Greek. This was an epithet of the Greek goddess Demeter. So I chose this name to represent the the green fertile summer grounds these birds travel back to in the Spring.

The piece is a 10" x 10" mixed media art and is the first in a series.  Please email me if you interested in purchasing this art work. A larger version of this piece can be seen on my web site.
