Fish and Birds

Description for blind and low-vision visitors

A horizontal painting divided loosely between an upper zone of flying birds and a lower zone of swimming fish, set against a softly rippled background that shifts from pinkish horizontal bands at top to pale green and yellow below. Several large birds with broad outspread wings dominate the upper and central area, their plumage striped and dotted in red, orange, blue, green and yellow, beaks open. In the lower half swim several fish with elongated bodies, fanned tails and bold patterns in red, green, orange and blue, each marked with a prominent round eye. The creatures are scattered across the field with the largest winged bird near the center reaching toward the right. Color is high-keyed and warm overall, every animal densely decorated with concentric lines, scales and spots.
