Artist, American, born 1941

This is a painting of two abstract, ear-like shapes positioned symmetrically. The painting features two similarly curved forms facing each other on a plain background. The left shape is painted in a lighter, pinkish hue, while the right shape is in a darker, more maroon shade. The shapes resemble the outer contours of ears and are connected by two thin intersecting lines, creating a point of connection or symmetry between them. The overall composition is minimalistic, with an emphasis on balance and subtle color variation.
