Birds

Three elongated female figures sit on slender white folding stools scattered through a bare autumn wood. One plays a wooden flute, another stretches an arm upward beside a stylized dark green shrub, and a third, in a striped dress, peers through a telescope near a spinning white pinwheel. Black crows perch on the stool legs and wheel through the pale sky around them.

Muted grays, browns and dusty pinks dominate under soft, even light, with flattened forms and elongated proportions giving the figures a stylized, storybook quality. Loose, dry brushwork on the trees contrasts with smoother handling of the dresses, producing a quiet, dreamlike, faintly enigmatic mood.
