About this work

This painting shows a bright blue sky with a branch full of birds and leaves. The birds are white with black wings, perched on green branches. Below, rolling green hills meet a calm body of water. The artist used flat colors and simple shapes to make the scene feel fresh and clean. The birds look almost like cutouts, but the way they’re placed makes them feel alive.
