The image shows a coastal landscape with a high horizon line. The transition of colors on the horizon symbolizes the meeting of sky and water. Loose and fluid brushstrokes create a dreamlike quality. The color palette includes rich burgundy and deep blue in the foreground, transitioning into softer shades of green, yellow, and pink towards the horizon. Dark, triangular forms on the left suggest trees.
