Description
A long horizontal composition set against a light blue background with several white clouds consists of a monster and a bent tree. A monster painted in a light grey-purple squats on the ground and raises the thumb of one of its human hand. Its head is turned toward the viewer and shows bulging eyes set on either sides of its head and full lips painted in deeper shades of purple. He is placed under a tree that grows out of a sloping ground to the right. The roots of the tree are seen in profile view beneath the surface. The tree's trunk and craggy branches are painted in black with purple highlights. The branches bear clouds of fluffy pink leaves. A tuft of grass grows out of the base of the tree. The tree is by Malt and the monster by Monster Steve.
