Work Description:
|
A jagged powder-blue/gray form rises from the bottom right corner and up towards the top edge not quite filling the right half of this composition and leaving the top right corner bare. This form is surrounded by a thin border of white pigment, separating it from the bare canvas beyond. A darker gray form just barely enters the scene along the lower right edge. A deep brown form rises along the left edge. A darker brown/almost purple lifeline runs through this brown form. Several thin areas of white paint surround this brown form, though not as completely as the powder-blue form. A turquoise blue streak runs to the right of the brown form from top almost to bottom, and two yellow and orange forms overlap along the left lower center edge. A single small dab of crimson red is sandwiched between the brown and turquoise forms near the bottom edge.
