DescriptionMatted scene of a black and white striped bird in an abstract forest. In the center of the image, a bird with black markings faces to the left and tips its head up. The bird is surrounded by an outline of bright yellow. Tall vertical streaks of color, maybe trees, cross the entire canvas both in front of the bird and behind. Blade-like shapes in pink, green, and gray suggest grass or reeds around the bird. Horizontal stripes of yellow, blue, green, and black run along the very bottom.The entire surface of the image and mat are covered by a sheet of clear, reflective plastic or vinyl.On View
