Seven flat black bats ascend diagonally from lower left to upper right across a hazy sky, in front of a pale full moon set slightly left of center and partly veiled by cloud. A soft halo of cream and pale peach-orange glows around it, set against muted charcoal and warm taupe clouds.

Deep burnt orange and rust in the lower corners suggest distant autumn treetops. Thick impasto with knife-scraped texture and raw canvas tooth showing through gives the quietly spooky scene a fine-art, atmospheric feel rather than a cartoonish one.
