A field of mostly rose pink shifts to canary yellow along the left third of this vertical, abstract painting. Most of the painting is blended so it looks almost like colored mist. Visible brushstrokes line the sides and bottom edges of the canvas. Along the left edge are three thin strokes in carnation pink, harvest yellow, and white. Along the bottom are streaks of leaf green, carnation pink, and slate blue. To the right are hot pink and lilac purple.
