"Music of the Spheres 2" is a tall, vertically oriented painting. It showcases an abstract expressionist style with flowing, blending colors and organic shapes, utilizing ink and watercolor techniques. The color palette ranges from dark, smoky blacks and grays at the top, transitioning through a spectrum of earthy tones, hints of pastel pinks and blues, down to warmer reds and browns at the bottom. At the top, there is to be a dense form, descending into a more open space with a vivid landscape of blended colors that evoke an otherworldly quality. The painting invites viewers to interpret these patterns and forms personally, as the abstraction does not clearly denote a specific scene or subject.
