Birds in Patterns

This small piece features a bold design with intense contrasting colors and playful surface patterns. Imaginative shapes overlap to create unique visual relationships across the gourd. This one-of-a-kind piece begins with pencil sketches, is painted by hand in acrylic, and changes as it is rotated, allowing the owner to choose the composition on display. The gourd is dried, opened, seeded, primed, painted, and finished with a protective matte varnish. A metal base is included.
