A peaceful palette, like a soft grassy lawn with pools of fleshy corals and pinks. Prominent thumbs in the foreground are more rendered and spring forward. A grayish thumb cups a warmer one, as both hold a glowing breast like form. This orb is encircled by a third thumb resting gently atop the pile. A mass of jumbled hands appears again above, slightly more sorted. Oil stick lines delineate two hands gripping a breast with an erect nipple, a small echo of the action below. These hands are surrounded by shadows, several layers of transparent blue, magenta and black poured like a curtain. When squinting, the painting feels less literal, like rolling hills and a storm cloud. The marks are direct and quick, a mix of brushwork, scrapes and drawn lines, accumulating densely at times, leaving drips all in their wake.
