Just bought a print of yours (809 of 1000) a thrush I believe, in St Mary’s county. Enjoying it very much.
My mother left me 8 of the 12 plates of Songbirds of the sourh. She lived with us for several years and passed in 1999. They have hung on my dining room wall for over 20 years. They are lovely.
I have a print that is called Marnie’s Chair . It is 123/1000. It has been displayed in my 59 places of residence and is still in great shape. My husband and I built homes which is why so many moves. Built / moved in/ sold them ! Anyway I will not part with the print.
I have had two of your works of Art in my Bedroom for more than 40 years. Kind of my way to start each day..They are Wooden Bucket 147/1000. and Marnie’s Chair 140/1000
Thanks for the 40 year connection
