Mystery Painting Description

Mystery Painting
recreated by our Walter Hays partners
This picture's background is purple with black dots. There are two overlapping rectangles in the center at right angles to each other. The rectangles are a grayish turquoise color. You can make this color by mixing gray, blue, and green. Where the rectangles meet, the color is a darker gray. In the center of the dark gray area there is a white vertical rectangle outlined in black. The white rectangle takes up two-thirds of the gray area, and is centered. The width of the black outline is one-third the width of the white rectangle. The edges of the black outline are fuzzy.
Analysis
by Rupa and Dean
The purple background and the black dots were painted well by our partners. The two overlapping squares were drawn well.
We could have told them that the squares were greenish and the dots should be smaller. They needed to know that the overlapping area is about 3/4 of the total area of the painting.
