Pat Adams

From a Pleasure House
1959

A vertical mixed-media artwork featuring an abstract composition with a dominant purple section at the top, a large central area with a textured blue circle surrounded by patches of orange, red, and other colors, and a bottom section with muted gray and blue tones. The piece has visible brush strokes, layers of paint, and areas where the canvas texture shows through, creating a rich tactile effect.
