This painting is packed with bright colors and wild shapes. Buildings in red, yellow, and white sit in a messy row. People and animals are scattered everywhere, some standing, some walking. The background is dark green with tiny lines and dots all over it. The artist used thick, flat colors and bold outlines. Everything looks busy but also kind of organized. The buildings and figures don’t match real life—they’re more like a dream or a story. Check out Ynez Johnston to see more of her bold, colorful work.
