Broad palette-knife strokes of terracotta, cream and pale blue pile up into a wide, restless sky. Below it, a thin band of rust red marks the horizon, and bands of sage and gray-green stand in for the water or land in front.

The painting is more about paint than detail. Ridges of thick pigment catch the light, and the soft, earthy colors blend into one another. It reads as a quiet, minimal coastal sunset with no figures or buildings.
