An amorphous blob of flowing blue, green, and red paint occupies the center of the paper. Patches of yellow dot the image. The form resembles a dark, colorful cloud, and contrasts with the plain white paper framing it.

Large pinkish/orange shell that dominates most of the canvas, with a much smaller shell beside it on the lower left. Both are oval in shape and open to their undersides, exposing the dark glossy pink of the inside of a shell. They are nestled on a white cloth or tissue paper that has folds suggesting a depth, as if the objects are in a box. The larger shell is chipped on it's upper left tip.
