Jewelled Beach
1971

A vertical abstract painting featuring a soft blue sky with swirling patterns at the top, transitioning into horizontal bands of color including peach, yellow, and various shades of blue. Below the bands, an array of circular and oval shapes in muted tones suggest a stylized landscape or seascape with pebble-like forms. The artwork has a dreamy, serene quality, and is executed with delicate brushwork. Visible paper edges and tape indicate the piece is likely unframed.
