About this work

This painting shows a wild mix of animals in a grassy, hilly landscape. A cow and deer stand near a rocky outcrop, while birds—some perched, some flying—fill the scene. Chickens, peacocks, and a big white bird with a loud call gather around, almost like they’re having a gathering. The sky is soft with clouds, and the colors are earthy but bright in spots.
