Description
Rice placed the blue jay in its most natural place, perched upon a branch. The grapes hanging down from a branch is significant to where the blue jay is positioned, as blue jays feed on soft fruits. The colors used on this print is are unified between the blue jay in the foreground and the grapes in the background.
