About this work

This painting shows two kids peeking over a girl’s shoulder at a small portrait in a mirror. Around them, a yellow butterfly and a bird float near a giant leaf. Below, two birds with shiny wings perch on a branch. The colors are soft—whites, browns, and muted greens—with a few bright spots. The girl’s portrait looks like an old-fashioned drawing, almost like a tiny painting. The whole scene feels like a collage, with different textures mixed together. Look up Joseph Cornell next—he made this kind of mixed-media art.
