A watercolour painting looking diagonally downward at a jagged, cliffy landscape. The foreground of the painting is taken up by the upper parts of an island-like cliff. Its steep sides are jagged and rocky and there is a Procompsognathus climbing upward. It is a small, coelophysid dinosaur - two legged, though it is using its front paws to climb up too. Aside from the head and feet, it is covered in brown protofeathers that resemble fur. Its tail is brown-and-white striped. Its head and feet are greyish-green, with a blue 'bandit mask' across the face. The Procompsognathus has nearly reached the forested clifftop and is about to bite the dangling tail of one of three Peteinosauruses. They are small, basal pterosaurs with large, slightly boxy heads and short wings. They are sitting on top of trees on the clifftop. Two of them are perched and watching the third Peteinosaurus - the one whose tail is about to be bitten - stand up with its wings extended in display. They are different shades of reddish-brown, with the displaying one nearly yellow with orange markings on its wings. On the left side of the watercolour, past the edge of the cliff, we can see another, lower cliff in the background. A narrow stream of water descends to it over a waterfall, then runs horizontal for a few metres, and then falls off in another waterfall. At the horizontal bit, a Paratypothorax is about to drink. It is a heavily armoured aetosaur - a herbivorous crocodile relative. It is a grey, quadrupedal animal with an armoured back and a pointy snout. A series of ridges are visible along its back. It is drinking next to a large mossy boulder. Further up at the upper waterfall, a dead tree is suspended by rocks, heavily mossed where the waterfall comes close to it. The rocky terrain in the painting is dominated by red tints, while the plants are mostly conifers.
A Peteinosaurus shows off on a Williamsonia atop a small overgrown cliff, unaware of the Procompsognathus climbing the cliff to sneak up on him. Behind and below them, a Paratypothorax has come to her favourite stream to drink.
