A tidal wave of royal purple, dark turquoise, and ripe raspberry surges diagonally across the central plane, fed and toyed about on both sides by smaller lapping currents of muted white and precocious blue. The effusive and torrential strokes signify an extreme expressionist outburst from within, a rush of emotion inside out from the artist, and an exhaustive dance with canvas ending in a final gust of breath. The gust exemplified by the paintbrushes, discarded, and left to crust themselves into the concluding mix without further ado.
