small bird takes a quick breath on the edge of the ice and jumps into the creek. With four kinds of cones in her eyes, she sees a broader range of color than humans, including the ultra violet range. She walks along the stream bed turning over stonesto find her dinner. This painting depicts the bird in human vision colors and the stream bed, based on my high speed photography, possibly more like the bird would see it. In a way it is an abstract painting with a realistic bird. Beauty that is intellectual as well as intuitive.
