Signs of Spring -"How Fast They Grow" by James P Gallagher. Second issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $50.00
Imagine how thrilled you would be to witness a moment such as this! Perhaps as you walk through a backyard garden, you notice a nest of string, twine, twigs and mud resting in a crook of beautiful flowering dogwood and spy a
dazzling glimpse of vivid scarlet darting amid the moon-white petals. It's Father Cardinal, soaring like an acrobat of the sky, encouraging his three downy chicks with melodious trills.
Mother Cardinal, her colors a softer version of his bold red, perches by the nest. She bobs her head as if to say, "You can do it!"
Two of the chicks are getting the general idea, and are experimentally flapping their miniature wings...but have not yet gathered the courage to release their tight grip on their perches! The third chick flatly refuses to have anything to do with this flying thing! He's not ready to leave the nest for
quite a while.
Artist Joe Thornbrugh treats you to the thrilling drama of first flight in "How Fast They Grow," second issue in his Signs of Spring series of limited-edition plates. Framed by a fabulous floral border. it's a plate you'll surely treasure!
The creation of the tine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
