This painting is called The Bird Watcher by Amy Sillman. This painting is an oil on canvas used with pastel like colors. It was painted in 2004. Sillman paintings are intuitive messy and strange. Her color sense is carried by drips and slabs that seem spontaneous even though she works and reworks her paintings any time. She painted this painting to make the people look at the figures emerging from the simultaneously, chaotic and orderly surface to crowlike creatures purch to the right of a web footed figure with binoculars. Language influences this painting by showing how the people who look at this painting can picture this painting in anyway they want to let there minds read it. I chose this piece because I thought it was interesting that the painter, painted what made you think about the shapes she painted and what you think they look like and what they are, also i like the pastel colors she used to create the unusual figures.
