- Hungry chicks in a central nest are fed by enormous birds, attended by a variety of smaller birds and butterflies. A profusion of flowers with colored outlines and serrated leaves arise from spindly trunks. Below, on an abstract patchwork of paving stones, a flock of sheep is between a man with a dog on the L and girl at a well on the R in front of a two story house.
