Where it works
Catesby's yellow-breasted chat, olive above and bright yellow below, flutters over a trillium with mottled green leaves and narrow dark red petals, its root drawn beneath, on a tall cream page. Light and lively for a hallway or a kids room at 24×32 in dark wood, with his Indigo Bunting.
