About this work

This painting is a big, blurry circle of colors. The center glows a soft yellow-orange, fading out to pink and purple rings. The edges turn greenish, almost like a glow spreading into the white background. The colors blend smoothly, with no sharp lines. It looks like the paint was applied in thin, even layers to create that soft glow. Try looking up *glazing* to see how artists build up light this way.
