The central body of the paintings are smoothly feathered out to the sides. The top and bottom edges on the front of the canvases reveal layers of paint with both subtle and abrupt shifts in value. This peeling back from the edges is not dissimilar to the way Brice Marden treated the edges of his oil and wax canvases in the mid-1960's.
