Birds and Jets
1969

A vibrant painting depicting two jets flying in a bright blue sky with numerous black birds scattered throughout. The sky takes up the majority of the canvas, while the bottom portion shows a rolling green landscape with hints of yellow and small black lines that could represent fences or wires. The painting is framed in black with the title "BIRDS AND JETS" at the bottom.
