Work Description: 
Rich crimson pigment streaked with black fills the canvas. A small area of exposed canvas extends about a foot down from the top left corner along the left edge. A similar form emerges from the bottom right corner, extending horizontally along the bottom edge to the left where it quickly becomes filled with a flat gray color. Small bursts of gray and orange explode across the right side of the canvas. A small blue form hovers along the compositions bottom right edge, just to the left of a lone yellow shape. Tiny dashes of exposed canvas hover around the painted shapes.
