This tapestry is named Aviary II because of the three brightly hued birds that dominate center stage.The dominant color of the tapestry is blue with a rich infusion of yellow on one of the birds, which is delicately perched on the stalk of a leafy frond. The bird is looking straight at you, inviting you to step into the world of flora and fauna that brings with it a freshness of natural beauty. Its companions are clothed in brilliant blue, one with wings outstretched in careless flight, the other ready to take wing in playful pursuit.
The birds in blue and yellow are touched with strokes of black, which highlight the span of the wings, the curve of a crest, and the dip of a tail. The scene of the tapestry is framed in red and gold with a bold border of a thick gold tassel. It seems as if manmade material opulence has been cut away to provide a glimpse of natural simplicity.
The Aviary II measures 53 X 38 inches. The tapestry has been lined with a tunnel for easy hanging
