Work Description: 
In this vibrant work, canary yellow overtakes a large portion of the canvas, reaching upwards from the bottom middle of the composition and curving to the right at the top. The yellow is disrupted by a wide cream and black form entering from the bottom and right edges. This form contains two bursts of crimson and garnet. This area is surrounded by a bare canvas perimeter.On the left side, an orange-yellow vertical form emerges, stretching from the top to the bottom of the work. Bare canvas again appears to distinguish the forms, separating the two yellow tones. A small application of cream paint is present at the top left, as well as an even smaller blue form, which are both surrounded by a border of bare canvas.
