Large blue and red brushstrokes form the structure of this composition, with a seated figure in the misty background. What appears to be a cobalt blue vessel expelling "Ideas" or from the scroll, the figure is holding.

He was a gallery owner, first in Santa Barbara in the 1960's and 70's, then in San Jose in the 1980's.
