Title

Ethiopia I

Description

In the lower left hand section of this work, a group of three giraffes surround an orchid plant. The orchid mimics the giraffes by having the same coloring, but with a blue center. The background is a gray-brown wash that has been allowed to bleed into the sand-colored wash of the sky. Three airplanes fly on the upper right side of the painting.
