Work Description: 
A tall, thin brown form rises from the bottom left edge of this small, vertically-oriented canvas and is accented on both sides by yellow lines and two orange dabs of paint at its apex. A menacing maroon form reaches horizontally into the scene from the right bottom hedge, and is also highlighted by several orange dabs and a short yellow line at its bottom right. Both of these forms are surrounded by flat white pigment, which is then set apart from the black background in several areas by shadowy, blue-gray forms. A tiny sliver of yellow surround by gray reaches in from the top right edge.
