This painting contains abstract, dynamic lines in bright colors. The lines are mostly in shades of blue, green, yellow, and red, with the white canvas beneath showing though in many places. Small lines of pink, orange, and light blue are visible in some places. The blue strokes are concentrated at the top of the canvas, suggesting sky, and the green strokes could convey foliage. The areas of red and yellow might suggest houses or buildings, but there are no specific shapes. “
