This original acrylic and gouache painting on raw canvas features two deep indigo bird-like forms mirrored at the base of the composition, their almond-shaped eyes lending a quiet, watchful presence. Rising above them, a radiant pear-colored pinwheel-like bloom spreads across a warm peach field, suggesting a clover or a flower. A hand-painted border of soft blue-green stripes dotted with periwinkle blue accents frames the scene, creating a decorative rhythm that recalls textile patterns and folk motifs. With its balance of earthy tones and vibrant contrasts, the work evokes themes of companionship, renewal, and the harmony between the natural and the mystical.

This 30-inch high, 20-inch wide original artwork is meticulously crafted on raw canvas, with painted edges that create a seamless, finished look. It is wired, ready to hang, and requires no additional framing. It is signed by the artist on the back, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery.
