Forest Dwellers: Bee Series #48
1989

An abstract painting featuring spontaneous black ink lines and splatters on a textured, yellow-ochre background. The ink forms erratic shapes and patterns, some resembling organic forms or calligraphic strokes, with a sense of movement and fluidity. The artwork has a raw, expressive quality, and there's a signature with the date '87 in the bottom right corner.
