bird in hand painting Bird In Hand: Acrylic on paper. Size: 22" x 15"

Inspiration:......I began Bird In Hand non-objectively. Soon bird shapes became apparent. I was viewing the painting in the mirror, using my hand to cover various areas. My hand looked like it fit right in the painting so I included it.

How Piece was Acquired: Gift to the Museum from the artist, 1995
