This small 12-inch square study from the Running In Circles series explores the playful tension between curved and straight-edged forms. Subtle shifts in color — from muted grays to deep green and a vibrant golden yellow — create a rhythmic interplay of movement and stillness. Even within its compact scale, the composition invites the viewer to trace the pathways between shapes, offering a glimpse into the broader exploration of curves and structure that defines the series. Oil paint and cold wax on Encaustiflex, a microfiber material made from recycled plastic soda bottles. The gray background continues around the edges. The painting is ready to hang or placed in a floating frame for a more formal look.
