The Prickly Lady is a small, 6"x6" painting chock full of color and texture. Warm red and yellows mix with cool blues and greens to create an energetic balanced design. A bold rusty arc on the left side stands out against soft whites and blues. Layers of paint build varied textures, from smooth areas to rough, cracked surfaces. The knife strokes suggest movement and change, capturing a feeling of flow. The piece plays with contrasts between soft and sharp, calm and active.
