DescriptionAn abstract painting with light colours of beige, tan, grey, and then a brown yellow, white, some black and blue seen throughout. There is an abstract figure outlined in black in the center of the painting, with different parts of the figure painted in different colours. It appears to be bird-like with a longer narrow neck and head that’s in black, and a larger body blended with different colours, and some blue in the center of it, then black outlined feet. On the left side of the body there appears to be feathers with white tips, while on the right the body is larger and very round. The foreground of the painting is filled with light colours of grey, beige and brown blended together. The background is darker on the left with black. Then near the figure in the center of the background a brown yellow can be seen blended in. Then on the right in the background there is blue blended in.
