Description |
Oil painting of roadrunner in a desert-like landscape with blue mountains in the background. The dirt is an orange-brown, with tufts of green grass and foliage scattered throughout. The roadrunner's feathers are brown and tan, with red and blue around the eyes, and its beak is black and brown. Since his childhood, artist Billy Hassell has always been interested in the colors and geometric patterns of turtles, snakes, lizards and frogs, and has continued to express his love of the outdoors through his artwork. |
