This painting is all straight lines and circles. White stripes run across the top and bottom like a window frame. In the middle, rows of orange and brown rings sit on a dark blue background. A few white circles break up the pattern here and there. The rings look like they’re stacked in rows, but they’re not quite perfect. Some are slightly off-center, making the whole thing feel a little uneven. The colors are bright but not too loud. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
