We are all Connected
Participating in "we are all connected" a project created by Beatricia Sagar who has sent out blank puzzle pieces to artists throughout the world to paint and return to her. A wonderful way to join everyone together in these unprecedented times that have kept us apart. For my puzzle piece, I painted a Robins nest paying homage to the Robins who are nesting in our garden.
