Three Birds

11 x 14 inches.
A bright robin’s-egg sky sets the scene for three lively birds: an orange flyer with black wings, a blue bird with green wings, and a red cardinal on the ground, beak tipped with a straw-thin twig. A small sun glows at the upper left. Along the soil line, bold garden shapes rise: a violet flower, a yellow daisy, a tiny orange bud, and a trio of soft pink blossoms, all with thick green stems. The brushwork is direct and playful, with flat color and clear outlines that read like cut-paper shapes.
