Signs of Spring -"Quality Time" by James P Gallagher. Seventh issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $50.00
An unmistakable sign of Spring is the tentative soprano peeps of downy cardinal chicks. Sit under the fragrant boughs of your backyard dogwood tree and listen to the happy chorus. Three buff-colored chicks shyly experiment with a few squeaky notes. Heartened by the sounds, they are soon trilling gaily with all the off-key enthusiasm of a kindergarten choir. Mother and father cardinal warble a duet, the liquid melody filling the fresh spring air. Creamy white petals dance in the air about you, as if the joyous bird song inspired them to leap from the branch and waltz to the lilting music.
What a family portrait they make! The fluffy plumage of the chicks shines like gold coins against the silky white dogwood flowers. With his fiery crimson feathers, the father cardinal appears to leap to life from a background of misty blue skies and young green leaves. Throats vibrating with lovely harmony, these avian Von Trapp family singers delight us with the sound of music in the exuberant beauty of the new season.
Spend a little "Quality Time" with Joe Thornbrugh's lively portrait of a close-knit cardinal family.
The creation of the fine 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.
