DescriptionThe painting is an abstract image. A border of dark green/blue runs the perimeter of the work. In the border at the lower right, the paint lightens to a brighter blue. At the upper left of the border, there are dark alternating stripes. In the center, there is a quadrant of lighter colors. The upper left quadrant is round and is the smallest, and its upper half has several dark stripes alternating with the lighter yellowish background. The upper right quadrant curves around the upper left one and is a yellowish-blue color. The lower left quadrant is split in half horizontally, with the upper half being lightly checkered. The lower half is a pale yellow. To the left of the quadrant a stripe of brighter yellow fading into a blue-green runs the length of the quadrant. Small black lines extend into the quadrant at the upper, lower, and right edges. The lower right quadrant is separated into five different blocks. The upper three are mottled and various shades of blue-green. The lower two are more yellow.
