- Description
- A vibrant abstract painting mostly done in shades of blue, red, and yellow with a bit of green at center. Pockets of bright colors cover the canvas while blending and overlapping. Across the canvas from lower left to upper right is a meandering line of bright poured and dripped cobalt, surrounded by areas of sky blue and pink against yellow. At top center is an area where the colors appear more saturated with red and bright pink against a deeper yellow. Throughout the work, the paint forms lines and creased shapes where the canvas was folded. The work has a beveled edge.
