Where it works
Audubon's semipalmated sandpipers, two small brown-backed waders stepping along a sandy shore with shells near pale water, a small landscape vignette on cream. Quiet and sandy, it suits a beach house, bathroom or bedside on white, sand or pale blue walls at 16×24 in natural wood, with his Ruddy Plover.
