"Very early one
morning the phone rang and the lady from Sandhurst said her name was Robin, and she had a
baby cardinal that had just become an orphan, because a cat had jumped on the nest and
killed the nestling's mother. Robin was crying
and said she would bring the helpless survivor to my studio sanctuary.
When I looked into the folded kleenex in Robin's
hand the little bird had no feathers and was about the size of a bumble bee. I made the
newly hatched cardinal an incubator using a small basket for a nest and placing it into a
glass tank warmed with a heating pad.
The cardinal is almost nine years old and is deeply
imprinted with me. I have painted it 7 times".
