DescriptionMatted watercolor of three birds in the forest. The image is mostly painted in shades of green, accented with yellow, blue, red, and black. Three stylized birds perch on branches in a triangle shape: The top bird faces to the left and is shown in profile, the left lower bird faces backwards but turns its head to the right, the right lower bird faces backwards but turns its head to the left. Trees fill the background and color is applied over washes of green with a pointillist technique. The entire surface of the image and mat are covered by a sheet of clear, reflective plastic or vinyl.On View
