Thank you Carole, Margaret and Tao for your positive comments. I very much admire and love the Chinese style of painting, Tao. Always have that in mind since I was an art student in the 60ties.

Not far from where I live, there is a Natural Reserve specially accomodated for storks to make their nests. They return there every year and add new branches onto their old nests from the year before. A few weeks ago, my husband and daughter made a trip to see this and they came home with lots of photographs of the nests. This is one of them. I made a quick sketch, size A4. All comments very welcome :) Mia.
