A fine, dense marigold-yellow net weaves around dark dots in this horizontal, abstract painting. Most of the painting is yellow, and the spots are irregularly shaped, they vary in size, and they are loosely arranged in twelve columns. The columns bleed into each other to create undulating waves and swirls across the canvas.
