A composition of Carolina parakeets clusters across cream-colored paper, their bodies rendered in jewel-toned greens with bright yellow and orange markings on head and wing, perched among delicate branches and flowering plants rendered in muted botanicals. The birds are arranged in a naturalistic yet densely layered composition, their poses varied and lifelike, executed with the precision of hand-colored ornithological documentation from the 19th century. At home in a naturalist's study, a library, or anywhere classical natural history appeals. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
