Artistby Paul Nash, Samuel Palmer O'Keeffe: Nocturnal Scene The Shepherd ostrich,Surreal Landscape With Trees On Black
An imaginative, highly detailed, fantastical painting depicts an ostrich standing on a vibrant green, hilly landscape under a dark, star-speckled sky with a full moon. The ostrich, positioned centrally, has a white head and upper neck, and a black, white, and pale brown feathered body. Behind it, a forest of stylized trees grows from the hills, featuring thick, light brown, gnarled trunks and branches that sprout various sized, colorful, balloon-like fruits or pods. These pods are in shades of red, pink, yellow, light green, orange, and white, with some exhibiting textured surfaces, spots, or partially broken shells. A small, stylized fish-like creature with fins appears to float or fly near the ostrich's left side. The foreground and midground feature patches of green grass, scattered small stones, and various mushroom-like growths in orange, white, and brown. In the background, rolling hills are visible, and to the left, a body of water with trees growing near its edge. The overall style is reminiscent of a dreamlike, imaginative storybook illustration.
