In each section is a distinct and beautiful piece of this amazing canvas artwork. The painting incorporates a diverse collection of colors- everything from cerulean blue to daffodil yellow to earthy brown. In addition to the wide array of colors united on this single canvas, many different shapes and lines are depicted in the different sections of this piece. There are vague shapes created out of intentionally haphazard brush strokes as well as very clear lines creating a checkerboard look in one corner of the piece. There are also bright blocks of colors emphasized by thin, curving lines and a whitewashed section that utilizes broad brush strokes befitting it’s bright colors.
