Rectangles in ash brown and ruby red float against a background of deep, eggplant purple in this vertical, abstract painting. One narrow, dark brown band runs parallel to the top edge of the painting. The rectangle below the band is the same width, and is nearly square. That shape takes up more than half the composition, and is mottled with bronze brown and murky green. A vivid red rectangle floating below is not as wide as the band and the large rectangle. The edges of the shapes are blended, giving it a blurry look. Some brushstrokes are visible and the paint has dripped in a few places. For instance, a couple drops of the eggplant purple drop into the largest brown form.
