"Quiet Reaction" is an abstract painting featuring a rich tapestry of textures and colors. A dominant horizontal black band stretches across the middle, overlaid with subtle speckles and streaks, suggesting depth and movement. Above and below this central band lie patches of vibrant blues, rusty oranges, and deep purples, mingled with areas of muted yellows and greens. These colors are applied in a way that gives the impression of wear and patination, like a weathered wall with layers of paint eroding over time. The use of color, along with the varying applications of paint, creates a dynamic tension within the composition. The painting is contained within a simple gallery floating wood frame that encloses the panel. Original mixed media abstract oil painting by Stevenjohn McHugh titled ""Quiet Reaction". Measures 11.5" x 15.5" x 1.5. Framed size is 12.25 x 16.25" x 2.5".
