Assessment: 2020 As A Postcard

This painting is big on color, including organic forms in bright red, fuscia pink, lime green, dark navy blue, teal, forest green and sky blue. The organic forms are applied both horizontally and vertically in a complimentary, abstract way. Laying on top of these colors are six red, strong horizontal lines, one bright yellow vertical, and three striking fuscia vertical lines. Though this is an abstract painting, you can also imagine it as a landscape. The title is ’Three Moons,' which is taken from from the three medium-sized white circles in the center of the painting. There is also a white circle in the center along with two small open circles and many light blue circles on the lower, left hand corner.
