At this time, my children were early risers, and the noisy birds were a source of great entertainment. We used to love to sneak out the back yarn and listen to them chattering away. I had a love of shadows at this time and used to trace them on the path to capture later.
Work is signed Michelle Giacobello (my previous painting name) and dated 2009.
