A large, abstract painting composed of variously sized and colored panels. The left side features a dark gray panel above a larger white one with blue smudges. The central panel has a radial burst pattern in white over a dark blue background. To the right, a vertical strip displays a row of colorful, paint-filled cups hanging from a wire, with a paintbrush dangling beside them. The artwork has a raw, textured appearance, with visible brushstrokes and paint drips.
