Prairie scene with stand of evergreens in upper right; buffalo traverse the left side of canvas from background to foreground. Red line divides canvas horizontally; red pigment bleeds from the line diagonally toward lower half of canvas. Pink and blue V-shapes evoking birds fly in wavy and swirling lines that traverse canvas from top to bottom. Lines of red arrows flow from top to bottom together with the buffalo; yellow and green arrows travel canvas from bottom to top, toward trees; white arrows form circular swirls in the sky.
