This painting is mostly dark gray with a thick blue border. The top half has a slightly lighter gray band, while the bottom is deeper and almost black. The edges are uneven, like the paint was brushed on in big, rough strokes. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, making the colors feel heavy. The blue border looks like it was added last, framing the dark center. If you like this style, check out Mark Rothko.
