The image shows a semi-abstract landscape with a central horizon line. Broad brushstrokes create teal hills in the foreground, leading to smaller hills in the distance. The color scheme is soft with blues, greens, light browns, and whites. Clouds and foliage are suggested with loose, billowy shapes and rough sketches. The technique appears to combine watercolor washes and pencil or charcoal markings for detail.
