This abstract painting by Jeanne M. Connolly is a rich, expressive interplay of gesture, translucency, and layered intensity. Using a combination of acrylic, watercolor, ink sticks, dye, and gouache, Connolly builds a luminous surface where deep rust tones, vivid purples, and acidic yellows swirl and collide. Gridded marks—some sharp, others softened by bleeding edges—anchor the composition within a field of warm, organic movement.

Two large rust-colored circular forms hover near the center, offering a bold visual contrast to the surrounding textures. Soft washes in mauve, lavender, and golden cream evoke both geological strata and ephemeral atmospheres, while the ink stick lines add a sense of structure and tension. The materials push and pull against one another—bleeding, staining, and layering—to create an evocative visual terrain that feels tactile, intuitive, and alive with energy.
