Many of the shapes in this

painting are repeated to

create rhythm and pattern.

The circles, leaves, reeds,

and obviously the thistle are

organic shapes. These are

in contrast to the geometric

shapes of the rectangles.

Originally the entire canvas

was painted white. The areas

of white still showing become

negative shapes, whereas the

deliberately drawn shapes

are positive. Most of the

shapes are either vertically

or horizontally oriented, mak-

ing a loose grid, which gives

the painting structure.
