About this work

This painting shows two people floating upside-down in a bright blue sky. Their heads are tan, and their feet are at the top, as if they’re hanging in the air. The sky looks swirly and deep, with a few clouds mixed in. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to keep it looking dreamy. The way the figures are upside-down feels strange but calm.
