Broad strokes of paint create blocks of color in tones of emerald and celery green, topaz and sapphire blue, red, orange, bright yellow, white, and black in this abstract, vertical composition. A collection of peach-toned colors in the lower left quadrant could loosely represent a person. Other shapes give the impression of a room with a window and furniture, though details are left to our imagination.
