DescriptionA predominately orange painting with pinks and greens. The paint is applied thinly some parts with the raw canvas showing through and in some areas acting as a color in the painting. The marks on the lower middle section and within the grid pattern on the right are impasto. On the top right of the painting are stair step shapes. On the lower right is a chimney like shape from which come circles within circles of lines of color. They become smaller as they run in a curve to the top of the right corner. The right side is occupied by two triangle shapes and ladder like marks. On the lower right is a grid pattern of twelve squares of colors, loosely applied. In the bottom center of the painting is a rectangle of green filled with overlapping lines. This painting is part of the "Mr. Crow" series.Not on view
