Rex

View through Harvard Museums
A tall (vertically oriented) acrylic on canvas. The background is a warm orange-yellow, soaked into the canvas, with areas of overpainting in red. The red is sometimes thin and wash-like, sometimes thicker and more opaque, with some impasto. A purple vertical strip runs down the edge of the central red area, and an orange zigzag "crown" and yellow profile are at the upper portion of the canvas.
