Below is an image of "Squiggly Brushstrokes" which is a 1997 painting by Sol LeWitt. It exemplifies repetition that creates a rhythm within the painting.
I've placed several yellow arrows to point out all of the white colored squiggles throughout the painting. I chose the white ones because they seemed to contrast most of the other colors which really made them stand out. From the number of arrows, it is clear that there is plenty of repetition in terms of color. Each line is also a squiggly shape. While they are not each the same exact shape, each squiggle is part of the general squiggle shape pattern found throughout the entire piece. The repetition of color and line/shape in this painting creates a flow and a rhythm for the viewer to enjoy.
