The head and winding neck of the bird fills the foreground and center of the page.  The cool palette of pinks, purples, and whites alludes to the time of day when it is cool.  The background becomes abstract as the sky and water reflect and become one.

A large brown rabbit in a pink dress with blonde hair holding a smiling balloon.  The character is wide-eyed as if ready to let go of the clown-like balloon.  The background shows a landscape with a circus in the valley below, with tiny smiling balloons dotting the sky.  This beautifully hand-drawn scene shows the artist’s skill in shading with colored pencil and outlining sharp contour with an ink pen.
