DescriptionThis multi-colored print features a stylized kingfisher bird depicted in blue, black, rust, and white, resting on a branch in the upper center of the composition. Brightly colored flowers and green leaves surround the bird and a yellow sun appears just above the creature’s head. Beneath is a blue stream with two swimming fish. The compositional forms are packed densely into the vertically oriented image.Exhibition HistoryNone
