Comments: This is one of the simpler, more classic, pattern images. It has everything I was looking for in the pattern series but the clarity of the colors and forms almost makes it too graphic, too decorative, like some kind of wall paper. Perhaps I'm being hard on myself. I made several smaller versions of this basic set of colors and patterns and they sold very well. It may be precisely because of the graphic clarity that people liked them. They are both abstract yet immediately accessible and give the eye and mind and nice easy place to drift around.

Note: There is another drawing very similar to this in color and composition but I reworked the spheres to give them an almost fuzzy texture, a bit like highly magnified pollen grains. It was orignially drawn in 1991 but reworked in 1993 or 94. It is $700 and can be seen by appointment.
