A striking feature about this abstract oil painting is the use of the warm, inviting colour palette. In its lightest areas, the colour appears to carry a bright, glowing quality, suggesting the artist is interested in exploring how paint can convey the sense of light and illumination.

Lines and dashes of oil paint appear to have been applied through scraping in a careful, deliberate manner using a flat tool like a palette knife. Their hard, defined edges provide a bold contrast to the softer, more fluid areas of paint. These variations in painting techniques find their structure through a subtle grid composition of horizontal and vertical lines that guide our eye to move up and down the canvas.

We can also observe how the paint has been applied in a combination of thick layers alongside thinner, more delicate layering. This has the effect of creating variations in texture and hue intensity, adding depth and contrast to the painting.
