Abstract Geode-Inspired Acrylic Mixed Media Painting by Willis-McCorkle

This original abstract artwork by artist Willis-McCorkle features a vertical composition suggestive of geological formations or sliced geodes. The piece is executed on a rectangular gallery-wrapped canvas using a mixed media approach, primarily utilizing acrylic paints and textural inclusions. The color palette is bold and earthy, dominated by undulating ribbons of vibrant orange, charcoal black, slate gray, metallic silver, and various shades of tan and cream. Notable features include the use of thick impasto techniques and possibly added mediums like sand or glitter to create textural contrast between the smooth and rough sections of the 'bands'. The transitions between colors are defined by jagged, erratic borders that mimic the natural growth patterns of stones. In terms of condition, the piece appears to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible signs of cracking, fading, or structural warping to the canvas. The craftsmanship reflects a modern expressionist style, likely dating from the 21st century. The metallic highlights provide a reflective quality that changes with the lighting, adding depth to the visual experience. No visible signature is present on the face, though context suggests provenance from Willis-McCorkle.
