The Letters "L" and "O" in Landscape
1968

A pastel drawing featuring abstract shapes and soft color washes. A prominent green geometric shape resembling a three-dimensional letter 'L' is centered on the page, with a circular form nearby. The background is a blend of orange, yellow, and blue hues, with some areas showing scribbled lines and text-like marks. The lower right corner appears to have a signature in red.
