This is a painting of two woodpeckers against a striped background. The artwork shows two woodpeckers against differently detailed backgrounds. One woodpecker has a black and white speckled pattern with red touches on its head, set against a tree trunk. The other has red and white plumage with a black back, on a similar trunk against a light turquoise background. The wider backdrop features repetitive brown and beige horizontal stripes, creating a sense of movement. The style is reminiscent of modern realist with an abstraction inclination, similar to artists like Charley Harper.
