A vertical oriented rectangular picture plane. An organic abstraction of flowing, cartoon-is shapes intersected with colorful squares in a grid. A Yellow, Yellow Orange, Red Violet, and Blue dominant color balance. In areas, Diagonals intersect the layers of abstract shapes leading to or from an area near the center. One dominant angle leads to the lower right corner and a magenta shape, the other leads to the upper right and an olive-green triangular wedge.

A vertical composition, with horizontal dark brown rectangles - stripes. A glowing yellow-ish center. Blue paint poured in long drizzling drips in arcs across the picture. Primarily a Blue-dominant color balance with the central areas of yellow and browns.

How about a splash of color for my first @bsky.app post? The seasons are changing here in MN, but still a warm August memory remains of a small stream on the south shore of Lake Superior.
