This painting shows big circles stacked on top of each other, some overlapping. The colors are soft—pale yellows, blues, and reds—with a few small squares and lines scattered below. The background is a plain, light tan color. One circle has a dotted red outline, and another has a thin black line inside it. The rest are smooth and solid, except for a few small shapes at the bottom. This style looks like it uses glazing, where thin layers of paint create depth.
