Home Tweet Home features twenty birdhouses of various shapes, sizes, and materials.  One favorite, Big Bird House, built by Richard Preston of Hollywood, Maryland, is a bright yellow and gray house that stands over three feet tall and two feet wide.  Another creation is a gray rocket ship with a dainty bird wearing goggles perched on top ready to rocket to the stars.  The well-known southern Maryland artist couple, John Schaffner and J. Luray Schaffner, has created a spectacular house that is composed of ten different painted houses bolted together in a lovely geometric shape.  Other houses include a flowered gourd, an ode to the Tiki Bar, Rapunzel’s castle, a seashell and driftwood house, and a set of five houses painted by a local mom’s group.  Like much of what Annmarie does, Home Tweet Home embraces and celebrates a wide variety of artistic expression, from professional artists to youthful enthusiast.  It seem that everyone, even the birds, have a home at Annmarie. Home Tweet Home continues through August 31, 2012 (unless a bird takes up long-term residence).
