An array of hues, from metallic teal to sky blue to hot pink to white. “Sweet Idleness” is everything but idle; except that it is a moment frozen in time. A background of baby blue is speckled with hints of navy and lime green. Smears of purple-gray pass for clouds; cream ink slashes the canvas, capturing movement; drops of teal splatter across the top layer. Bursts of hot pink peeking out from behind other colors seriously makes the canvas pop. “Sweet Idleness”, the translation of the Italian phrase dolce far niente, ties the piece together with black and white offset text.
