A circle and several parallelograms float, changing color where they overlap, against a mustard and lemon-yellow background in this abstract, vertical painting. The circle is near the upper left corner, and stretches almost halfway across the canvas. The circle is mostly elephant gray and is black where the angular forms overlap it. All of the parallelograms are vertical except for one that cuts across them and the circle. The parallelograms are mostly ivory white, pale pink, stone gray, or light turquoise where they intersect, except for one that turns from ruby red to brick red within the circle and the leftmost shape, which has a pattern of small black dots against slate gray.
