Brushstrokes (Studies)
c. 1980

A sketch on a cream-colored paper featuring various strokes and shapes that resemble pieces of wood or bark, drawn with a pencil. The strokes vary in thickness and shading intensity, suggesting different textures and forms. Some shapes are more defined, resembling logs or planks, while others are more abstract. The paper has a slightly frayed left edge and a pinkish mark on the bottom right corner.
