The Silent Seasons - Winter
1967

A painting depicting a woman with dark hair seated at a wooden table, engaging in a knitting project with blue yarn. She is facing a window where a green parrot is perched, playfully tugging on the other end of the yarn. The room is simply furnished with a shelf holding a ball of yarn, scissors, and a spool of thread. The color palette is muted with shades of blue, brown, and green dominating the scene.
