DescriptionMatted scene of two blue and purple birds in a brown and green nest. The nest is textured with a checker pattern, with brown edges and green centers of each diamond shape. One bird sits deep in the nest and the other sits on a branch just above. Green branches with red, pink, and blue clusters of berries criss-cross the background, which is otherwise abstract. The background colors are mostly bright yellow and dark purple. The entire surface of the image and mat are covered by a sheet of clear, reflective plastic or vinyl.
