Untitled (9/29/85)
1985

A colorful abstract drawing on lined graph paper featuring a variety of shapes and lines in multiple colors such as red, green, blue, and brown. The artwork appears to be created with crayons or markers and exhibits a playful, child-like quality. Some areas of the drawing are more densely colored, while others are lighter, allowing the grid lines of the paper to show through. The image has a sense of spontaneity and lacks a clear, discernible subject.
