DescriptionMatted watercolor of a birdfeeder with trees in the background. Two teal bird feeders hang on a tall stand, and seven red and blue birds perch on the feeders. A green hill spans the bottom of the image and thin black lines define trees in the midground behind the feeders. The very background is loosely painted with undefined pools of blue, purple, green, and orange paint. The sky at the very top edge is white. The entire surface of the image and mat are covered by a sheet of clear, reflective plastic or vinyl.On View
