The artwork includes an irregular oval shape in varying shades of teal and green blending into a lighter border against a wooden brown background. The central shape resembles a shallow body of water with a textured surface resembling ripples or brushstrokes. Beige and cream hues form a transition between the central area and the wooden panel. The wood grain adds an organic texture to the piece.
