Joan Mitchell

Bedford II
1981

A vibrant abstract drawing with heavy scribbles primarily in dark blue, accented with streaks of red, green, and a few other colors. The scribbles are dense and layered, creating a textured appearance. The green is more concentrated along the top and bottom edges, suggesting a loose boundary or frame around the central mass of blue. The image is on a white background with the artist's signature at the bottom.
