This watercolour work from the later phase of the artist’s career builds up on the same vocabulary that he had explored through many of his oils in the preceding years—of squiggle-like patterns created by broad brushstrokes, with each stroke encasing thin lines in a marbled effect generated by partial immiscibility of ink with water due to varying amount of pressure on the canvas with the movement of the brush. Spread all across the picture plane, the squiggles are almost like recent experiences floating on an earlier solid memory denoted by the soft peach and blue background.
