“I always love John Barrows birds!”

I have several pieces from John Barrow, including every piece Ive seen by him featuring brightly colored birds. Im always watching for when he puts out a new colorful pieces featuring birds, and this was the first Ive seen in a while. I love birds, and the mosaic sculptures he makes are a really great fit when they are colorful. They also have a really nice aromatic smell to them which I think is the wood he uses—Ive noticed that smell in Sugos work (also a woodcarver from the Andes) as well.

I expected excellence from a self-labeled perfectionist, and I got it. Thank you!
