Willis-McCorkle Abstract Mixed Media Painting on Canvas

This item is an original abstract mixed media painting on a medium-format horizontal canvas, resting on a white tripod easel. The composition is characterized by a minimalist white background which serves as a stark stage for spontaneous, gestural applications of color. The palette is comprised of earth tones, including mustard yellow, ochre, burnt sienna, and dark umber, contrasted with accents of teal and dark turquoise. A central focal point features a circular swirl of paint, while the corners and various points across the surface display organic, splatter-like forms and ribbon-like strokes. There appears to be tactile texture suggesting the use of thick impasto or potential additive materials like sand or gel to give the pigments physical dimension. The painting is unframed with the paint extending to the visible edges, indicative of contemporary gallery-wrap or studio-style finish. The condition appears excellent with no visible signs of cracking, yellowing, or structural trauma to the canvas. Given the context provided, this work is attributed to the creative partnership of Willis-McCorkle, whose style often explores cosmic and natural themes through fluid abstraction. The craftsmanship reflects a modern, expressive approach where negative space is as significant as the applied medium.
