An abstract painting in greens and blues shows many small, card- or brick-like squares and rectangles merging at bottom and encroaching upon the center from the sides, like a wall trying to close itself, or a wall opening. Beyond these shapes is the suggestion of a hazy green sky with clouds and perhaps more shapes.
