About the Item
Artist Comments
In the style of impressionism, artist Mary Pratt paints an orange bird perched on a nest. It waits for whatever the viewer imagines—perhaps new life. "I see birds and it soothes my soul," says Mary. She finds beauty in nature and aptly captures its essence with intuitive paintwork. Using a palette knife, she applies thick impasto, giving the work a textural feel.
