The image depicts a body of water stretching across the lower portion, with the horizon line above the middle where the water meets the land. The land features mountains in blue and green with vegetation. The sky above shows hints of clouds and abstract marks. The artwork is impressionistic, created with colored pencils or crayons in rough brushstrokes. The color palette is soft and muted, with cool shades of blue and green, and warmer earth tones at the bottom.
