The image features brushstrokes sweeping across the canvas in a loose, fluid manner. A thin strip of dark green and subtle blue suggest a horizon line. A vibrant array of rainbow hues arcs from the upper left to the lower right. Colors transition from bright yellow and red to softer greens and blues. Close to us are softer streaks of purple, yellow, and brown, with blending indicating movement or reflection. The color palette includes pastels and primary colors, giving an impressionistic feel.
