The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this piece was layers. Everything from the lines, the shapes, and the colors, is extremely organic. The bottom/left side of the piece is very dark and the top/right side of the piece is brighter with orange and yellow tones. In the center of the the dark area there is a large bright yellow circle, it is what your eye immediately goes to when looking at this piece. The color palette is very mellow, varying from dark browns to greens, to yellows and oranges, with a little light blue. None of which are as bright as the yellow circle. Everything is broken up into almost solid chunks of color. The different shades of a certain color is what gives the piece depth. The style makes me think of how fields look from far away, or layering in rocks. There is also a thin line, lighter in color, that moves throughout the piece. In certain spots, it loops around itself and creates a small accent of a bright color.
The mood of the piece is almost relaxing. There are no hard, jagged edges, and the colors are very calming. I think this piece also has a meaning behind it. To me, it looks like a representation of possibly the artist's life. The majority of dark areas suggest rough and unhappy times, and the oranges/yellows/blues at the top suggest happier times, possibly in the future. I think the bright yellow circle represents the artist's realization and overall want to change the course of his or her life, fighting through the hard times and working towards the good.
Overall, I really enjoy this piece. I think the composition is well thought out and successful, the organic shapes and lines really draw your attention and move your focus throughout the entire piece. I think the color choice for the circle was smart, it's clearly much brighter than the rest of the piece but it works well with the other tones. The message is not clean cut and staring you in the face; it's more of an inspirational, "make you think" kind of painting. I love it.
