Blue Feather - Combine the response and the description

There is so much color and activity from the art work that it almost gives you a headache just looking at it. There is a lot of red from the background and bright colored splashes of color from the geckos. The picture is nauseating due to the bright red background with its clusters of stripes in different colors. I'm not sure how long one could look at all the red, which there were a couple of different shades and the contrasting bright colors. There was bright yellow, neon green, and vivid blue. The blue feather with its white spots almost is completely blended in due to all the other varisous colors. The feather is in the center of the artwork and the three geckos are in a circle surrounding the lone blue feather.

On gecko in particular is a bright shade of green, almost a neon shade. He has red spots all over the side of his body and his arms/legs. Running down his back are red diamonds. The diamond shape is half red and half black. It gives it a look like it is cut into this back. The toe nails of this gecko are strange. The are long thin cylinder shaped. Each arm/leg has three nails sticking out of it.They are the same red color that his spots are. When you look closer at them they resemble red spools of thread. He looks like a kids toy. Like a plastic blow up toy. His arms/legs are rounded and are located on the top of his of body unlike the others. This gecko reminds me of a plastic alligator my kids used to have in the pool when they were younger. This was my daughters favorite pool toy. It was a large green alligator with black marks on it and two handles on top of it at the back of its head. Bridget would struggle to climb up on top of the alligator. Sometimes as she pulled her little body up over it it would flip over from all her weight that she put on one side of it. When she finally climbed up on top of the alligator she would shout "Mommy I did it! I'm riding the alligator!"
