Burst was such a surprise to me when it arrived back in 1997.  At the time, I was doing nothing real abstract or experimental, mostly just landscapes.  And along came this woman just bursting with joy.  Perhaps with the spirit of a bird?  I do not know the story here, but I have always had a real affinity for this piece.  I especially like the negative spaces.  The shapes outside the shapes.  Burst is sure to bring a bit of sunlight and energy to any home or work space. 

This is a colored pencil drawing.  It was built up over many layers.  I rarely have time to work in this media anymore because it is so labor intensive.
