Description
Subjects of this traditional, earthy still life include a handmade ceramic vase overflowing with philodendron vines, a robin's nest sheltering three eggs, a smooth river rock, and a piece of driftwood. The objects are grouped on a roughly-woven cloth spread on a table top. I remembered these words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "Well I know the secret places, And the nests in hedge and tree . . . " and thought "Secret Places" made a nice title for this piece.
