I've Got You, Oil Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Mary Pratt paints two blue birds delicately perched on opposite branches. As they engage in their dance, their tail feathers serendipitously meet, creating a focal point for the composition. "In shape psychology, triangles are used to indicate adventure, intensity, or getting somewhere," shares Mary. "That explanation seemed appropriate as I imagined the birds frolicking and zipping about."
