Abstract painting of an azure blue circle in the center. Horseshoe shapes move concentrically alternating between blue and magenta. All of which sit atop a chartreuse background. The central shape is bordered by a vibrant red line. Speckles of red and black dots surround it. Along the bottom of the canvas thick black lines curve toward the centerpoint. The dotted pattern and magenta/blue stripes also repeat themselves, alonger the top of the canvas. Sandwiched in between are undulating arches of orange.
