The artwork is a vibrant, abstract representation of a natural scene, forest / a group of trees. The dominant colors include a bright yellow at the top half, suggesting a sky or light source, transitioning into variations of blues, indicating either water and sky. Towards the bottom, green hues mix with the blues, representing grass and forest floor.
The vertical white and off-white strokes evoke tree trunks, with the presence of other colors, like reds and purples, offering a dynamic and less structured interpretation of foliage, and other natural elements. The overall composition has an energetic quality, with the paint applied in a style that is both gestural and expressive, showing movement and a liberal use of color and form to convey the scene.
The painting is framed, which provides a structured boundary to the otherwise freeform expression within. The energetic brushwork and the vivid contrast of colors contribute to a sense of liveliness and immediacy in the artwork.
