In Untitled #1 by Utah artist Rick Shorten, a solitary figure is enveloped in a starry, swirling blue dreamscape, gently interacting with glowing orbs that float around her. The use of deep blues and the rhythmic patterns of the waves create a mesmerizing visual experience, while the figure's tender gestures towards the orbs suggest a narrative of care or wonderment. This 8X10" oil on canvas painting is set in an ornate gold frame that enhances its mystical aura and serene palette.
