Rose Bush/Waterfall
1980

A colorful childlike drawing featuring two labeled sections: on the left, a "ROSE BUSH" with red flowers and green stems against a pink background, and on the right, a "WATER FALL" depicted with blue vertical lines and white foam at the base, with small brown figures that appear to be swimming or floating in the water. The artist's signature and the date "8/26/80" are in the lower right corner.
