“Wind and Crepe Myrtle Concerto” is an abstract artwork created in 1973 by Alma Woodsey Thomas, a prominent artist associated with the Color Field Painting movement.
The artwork is characterized by its vibrant palette that predominantly features shades of pink interspersed with hues of yellow, green, and hints of blue, alongside bold vertical streaks of red. The composition evokes a sense of rhythmic movement and vitality, reminiscent of the natural world, particularly invoking the delicate and ever-changing patterns of light and color seen in crepe myrtle blossoms and the gentle movement of wind. The intricate mosaic-like application of color creates a dynamic visual experience, drawing the viewer into the flow and energy captured on the canvas.
