"Commingle" is an abstract painting that employs bold color blocks, drips, and strokes to create a complex visual tableau. The canvas is dominated by blues, ranging from pale to deep navy, complemented by pops of yellow, pink, red, and orange. It incorporates a variety of textures and layers that evoke a sense of depth.
 
Rectangular and square fields of color punctuate the composition, creating a rhythm across the surface. Some of these geometric forms contain smaller details and seem to float above the underlying layers, contrasting with the more spontaneous and fluid marks.
 
A prominent circular motif, bordered in red, rests near the upper left quadrant, adding a dynamic focal point amidst the angular elements. Throughout the painting, there's an interplay of opacity and translucency, indicative of numerous applications and removals of paint.
 
The piece is encased in a simple gallery floating wood frame that complements its modern aesthetic, allowing the vibrancy and energy of the abstract composition to stand at the forefront.r
