Overlapping calligraphic strokes layered until the surface is dense with gesture. Umber arcs cut across burnt orange ribbons; mustard punctuates the corners; cream breathes through the gaps the strokes left behind. Earth tones throughout — I wanted heat without the obvious red. Square format keeps the energy from running off the edges. Best hung at eye level so the gestures read at the right scale.
