This abstract painting represents a central twisting form in shades of light blue and white. At the top of the composition a rectangle tips to the right of the canvas, below it two rectangles protrude to the left and right, and below those forms a series of less regular white shapes occupy the center of the canvas. The white form is surrounded by shades of blue and red paint. On the left side of the form is almost entirely shades of light blue, with some red in the lower left quadrant of the painting. On the right side the lower corner is primarily blue with a few strokes of red, while the upper corner is almost entirely red.

This graphite drawing shows a three-story building with three towers on the roof. The second floor of the building is characterized by romanesque arches. In front of the tall building is another building of a smaller scale that partially obscures the view of the larger building.
In this painting, a valley flanked by rocky mountains on two sides (Yosemite Valley) is blanketed with a thin layer of snow. In the center of the canvas, a large tree with orange leaves extends vertically through the composition, standing just behind a body a shallow, still river. The middle ground is composed of trees—both pines and leafy trees with autumnally colored foliage—masked by a hazy atmosphere.
