Work Description: 
In this small, ominous painting, a muddy yellow presence rises from the bottom center edge, juts over to the left, and then rises vertically until it ends in a rounded apex just below the top edge left of center. A faint brown halo encircles its crown and two white dots sit one on top of the other to its immediate right. The forms in the background are all dark and hard to distinguish. However, a jet black form sits in the very center of the work, green and white forms are seen on the left, and a red form can be made out on the right.
