The folk art feel of the piece is heightened by the simple line work and movement of the gulls and doves and sundry other birds depicted. I seldom paint in neutral tones so this one was a bit of an adventure for me. I like the strange balance between the starkly contrasting graphic black and white and the soft rust details. It is something of a folk art homage to Picasso and Braque.
The piece is painted on a cradled board. The sides of the board are unpainted pale wood (as shown in photographs). It can be framed or hung as is. It can be hung landscape or portrait.
The painting will be shipped, wrapped in glassine and layers of padding and placed in a box, from my little studio in Northern California.
