This painting shows three tall shapes against a dark blue background. On the left is a red pole with wavy lines at the bottom. In the middle and right are two glowing yellow beams with faint outlines of people or objects. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the colors pop. The wavy lines at the bottom of the red pole might be water or waves, but it’s not clear. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with lots of paint visible. If you like this style, look up impasto—it’s when artists use thick paint like this.
