CUSTOM-Build Your Own Bird's NEST Painting in OIL...and CSN Review

This is a recent commission of a Robin's nest...if you would like a custom nest painting, or are looking for something in particular feel free to contact me
 Also, I was recently given the opportunity to review an item from CSN Stores, I chose this Demeyere Resto 1.8-Quart Egg Poacher / Gourmet Pan (with 6 inserts). This is a quality pan, sturdy, non-stick surface, & easy to clean! I would recommend it to anyone who loves eggs! Be sure to check out CSN's over 200+ online stores!

My personal favorite is this one by Belle Foret:

Someone STEALING my ART!! on Etsy





Artists be aware! The listing below was brought to my attention today, someone on etsy created a listing with MY painting above, asking another artist to COPY!! MY painting but for less money! Can you believe the audacity??! This is beyond copyright infringement and just plain sickening if you ask me! I have contacted etsy & will be checking to make sure this item is removed by this evening at the latest! And how sweet of them to have the deadline on my birthday!

Please let me know in your bid what you would charge for such a piece (the price I have in this listing is just a placeholder since I know everyone's bids will vary greatly) and also what size you are bidding. I am open to any size between 11x14" and 18x24".

The deadline date I listed above is the date by which I would like to have the piece in my hands. I realize this may be a stretch so if it is not possible to finish it by that date I can probably be a little flexible.
