Musing
Description
Watercolor, ink, and color pencil on paper
Depiction of three figures, the center figure is female, with an eagle head, a white-feathered upper chest, a green-feathered torso and beige-feathered legs. She also has long green hair that shoots out of her head and connects with the green hair of the two figures flanking her. The figures flanking her appear identical; both of them are female, have green skin and green feathers covering their bodies, and have long, stretching necks. They are both held at the neck by the center figure, whose arms are dark yellow snakes that extend from her torso and wrap around the necks of the two green women. The center figure also wraps her large red wings around the green figures in an embrace.
