DescriptionThis is a horizontally oriented abstract painting consisting of large, loose circular brushstrokes in shades of purples and blues which make up one large abstract shape taking up most of the white canvas. The paint is dripping in the lower part of the canvas, and there are smaller blue circles throughout the painting, mostly in the upper, proper right quadrant. There are traces of dark grey paint around the top of the abstract shape.
