Ah, this is beautiful, if a trifle large...

I love the crisp lines and the primary colors.

I'm sure the circles and semi-circles mean something, or stand for something...

Not sure what, though.

Thanks for bringing your artistic vision here.

kind of gives me a feeling of sadness about it especially with all the black. I wonder if it was a storm that day.

Very nice.

Thanks for posting it.
