When Stevo Sadvary was deciding on the design for this mural he thought about how it would be viewed. Most people would be driving past it and would have only a second or two, just a glance, to take it all in. He opted for a simple design that could be quickly appreciated. A mosaic of two big, beautiful cardinals in stained glass with a painted background satisfied his wish for a fun, spirited, yet easily appreciated scene. At 15.5 feet tall, the colorful birds stand out and make a cheerful addition to this street corner. The title reflects his intent to keep the mural easy to grasp. There are no words on it, just birds. No deep meaning hidden in little details, just pure, simple beauty and fun that everyone can appreciate.
