Summer Constellations
This experimental work was completed over the summer period. Based on a circular calendar design, this painting depicts 12 abstract snapshots of summer, with a symbolic constellation shape imposed on each.

Summer Constellations - details
As shown in the more detailed photo below ('detail 1'), the one at '3 o'clock' looks like someone coming out ready to box and to take on challenges.

The segment at '2 o'clock' has an bow and arrow-like shape, like the figure is aiming for a very specific goal.
