The image portrays a series of horizontal bands filled with stylized natural elements and colors. The horizon is set towards the top of the image, with blue and dark undulating shapes resembling distant hills. The painting uses thick, expressive brushstrokes to depict movement, with green and black forming tree-like structures. The color palette includes earthy greens and browns with pops of red-orange dots. Dark vertical forms in the foreground suggest trees or fence posts.
