Gate detail, Stanley Blake McNeely, photograph
The work is dominated by two squares at slanted angles to each other. The square on the left is divided into four uneven quadrants by white paint. The upper left quadrant is dominated primarily by brown paint and the upper right quadrant has a mix of brown, red, black, and white paint. Below, there are two adjacent circles, both a mix of black and white paint and the left circle containing some yellow. The square on the right contains dashes of brown and red paint on the right and a large vertical stroke of white paint on the left. Below the right square is a stroke of green paint with several black lines emerging from it to the left. The background is primarily white with dashes of blue and gray paint throughout.
This black and white photograph shows rocks, snow, and trees. Some of the snow has melted around the rocks and tree trunks. One branch of a fir tree with some needles fills the center of the image.
