This is a vertically oriented abstract painting. The upper third of the canvas is dominated by a soft background with a pastel peach to pale pink color, interspersed with scattered, delicate flecks of orange. It creates a tranquil, ethereal atmosphere. A horizontal demarcation line separates the upper section from the contrasting lower two-thirds of the canvas which is filled with a dense, textured thicket of brushstrokes. This cacophony of colors mainly consists of varied shades of vibrant yellow, green, and touches of blue, suggesting a natural, possibly floral or vegetal complexity. Amidst this dense foliage-like pattern are specks of red and white along with occasional traces of blue, adding depth and further detail to the composition. The overall effect is one of a lush, wild garden or meadow, viewed through an abstract, expressionistic lens. The painting evokes an immersive, natural environment with its rich texture and dynamic interplay of colors.
