8 birds

In a sunlit field of pale gold grass, three young women interact with birds. At left, a seated woman with wind-swept hair holds a badminton racket beside a perched bird; at center, another sits atop a stepladder holding a small bird to her cheek; at right, a woman in a teal coat has a bird resting on her shoulder while more birds gather on the ground amid slim trees and looping tendrils.

Warm golden ochres of the grass contrast with the cool blues and teals of the clothing and sky. Forms are flattened into decorative planes in a folk-art-like manner, under crisp outdoor light, giving the scene a light, playful mood filled with birds in motion and rest.
