Title

Homing
Green Bay

Subject

Homing depicts barely visible birds flying home late in the evening. The scene is created with horizontal bands of green, orange, blue, and red, stacked on top of one another. In the center are five Canadian geese flying in a flock. The background gives the illusion of being both sea and air. In the lower left side are various types of multi-petal flowers painted in shades of purple, pink, orange, brown, and green. On the right side are six long-stemmed flowers.
