Abstract Mixed Media Painting by Willis-McCorkle

This item is an original abstract painting on a pre-primed, textured canvas, presumably created by the artist or studio known as Willis-McCorkle. The composition features a bold, circular focal point rendered in an expressive, impasto-heavy style. The color palette consists of earthy browns, oxidized copper teals, and vibrant mustard yellow highlights that radiate outward in rhythmic, feathered brushstrokes. A notable feature is the application of what appears to be gold leaf or metallic gilt in the upper quadrant of the central mass, adding reflective depth to the piece. The background is a clean, flat-white ground, providing a high-contrast negative space that emphasizes the organic, almost celestial nature of the subject matter. The paint application varies from thin washes to thick, textured dollops, showcasing a varied technique. To the bottom left, a separate smaller flourish of sienna and gold adds balance to the frame. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible signs of cracking, fading, or moisture damage, indicating a relatively modern contemporary origin. The edges show the paint extending to the side, suggesting it is a gallery-wrapped canvas meant for display without a frame.
