Like objects emerging from a pink/green fog, the forms in this painting suggest landscape or architecture while at the same time confounding the viewer's ability to completely resolve what, if anything is being portrayed. The painter provides us with many of the things one expects to get in a traditional, representative picture. There are indications of foreground, background, shapes, color, shadow and light. But this is not, apparently, a painting of a place. It is a painting about the act of painting.
