A single, slender tree vertically bisects a landscape painted in tones of cool yellow, green, and gray in this tall, stylized painting. The tree trunk is nickel gray and mostly straight until it branches into smaller limbs about two-thirds of the way up the composition. A few short branches with bright, celery- and sage-green leaves poke out of the main trunk but most of the foliage is above, where three-pointed, dark laurel-green and spruce-blue leaves line spindly branches in the top third. A harvest-toned, flax-yellow expanse fills the bottom third of the composition, suggesting a grassy field. A block of frosty mint-green beyond reads as a body of water. Charcoal-gray cliffs about halfway up the painting along the right edge reflect as white in the green pool, and pale-gray hills line the rest of the horizon. A narrow band of pale blue over the hills gives way abruptly to a flat, butter-yellow sky.
