This painting shows a green background with dark blue and black shapes scattered across it. Some shapes look like blobs, others like squiggles or half-circles. On the right side, there’s a thin red stripe. The colors are flat with no shading—just bold patches of green, blue, and black. The artist used a printing method called monoprint, which means each print is unique. The shapes don’t form anything you can name, but they create a busy, almost chaotic feel. Look up Harold Barling Town to see more of his abstract work.
