The background is a mix of green, blue, and purple hues, with some visible crayon marks. The overall effect is one of dynamic movement and energy. The use of wax crayon as a medium gives the painting a sense of spontaneity and expressiveness. The bold, vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes create a sense of tension and emotion.
