An artistic rendition of the Access symbol for blind or low vision individuals. The symbol typically depicts a person with a cane, which is represented here in an abstract form. The figure is portrayed with red and green lines and a white circular swirl representing the head. It is set against a lively background with a mix of blue, purple, and green brushstrokes, giving the impression of movement. The outer edges of the symbol have a thick, orange border with a row of red dots on the left side, adding to the artwork's vibrancy. This creative interpretation of the symbol transforms it from a standard icon into a colorful and expressive piece of art.

A painting "Autumn Ocean" by Shelly is an abstract piece that appears to draw inspiration from the vivid colors of autumn and the serene expanse of the ocean. Horizontal bands of color dominate the canvas, with a striking contrast between the warm oranges and reds at the top, which may suggest a sunset or autumn sky, and the cooler tones of black, white, and purple below, evoking the feeling of a body of water or the ocean's horizon. The broad, sweeping brushstrokes give the painting a sense of motion and fluidity, reminiscent of the natural movement found in both seascape horizons and the changing leaves of autumn. This piece beautifully merges these elements into a cohesive and emotive visual experience.

A painting that features a vibrant, colorful abstract artwork that seems to depict a stylized floral scene. Bold, swirling lines and shapes come together to form what appears to be a central flower, with petals in shades of red, yellow, and green. Spiraling patterns in green and pink add a dynamic sense of movement. The use of bright, contrasting colors creates a lively and joyful composition. The flower is set against a dark blue background, which may represent the night sky or simply serve to make the colors of the flower stand out more vividly. The overall effect is one of playfulness and creative expression, typical of abstract art that invites personal interpretation.
