Radials & Radii

I found the naturally recurring circular motifs within this scene fascinating. These were kiln pieces from an old cement plant which had been delivered to our junkyard. The tires, barrels, shadows, and circular variations within the kiln pieces made an intersting oil. 18x24" in dark brown wooden frame.
