Watercolor on painting on paper. Apollo 13 on the Pad, April 10, 1970. A ready launch pad is in the center of the scene, including a red gantry and the white and black rocket. A tunnel with a darkened opening is at the base of the launch pad, and a tank with the numeral 1 on it is to the left of the tunnel. The foreground appears to be a road that leads to the tunnel. The entire scene is done in somewhat muted shades, with patches of white showing through between the strokes of watercolor.
