Alt text long description: The painting portrays a surreal scene divided into two sections. On the right, a figure resembling a female in a dress stands on a block, silhouetted against a backdrop of vertical pink and white lines suggesting drapes or a curtain. Overhead, a grid-like structure adds complexity to the ceiling. On the left side, the composition shifts to warm, abstract tones of yellow, orange, and blue, with a dynamic portrayal of light beams. Within this field of color, a smaller silhouette of a cowboy on horseback appears, dramatically backlit. Note: the alt text was written with support from the ASU Image Accessibility Creator AI tool.
