Painting, Brushed Ink and Pencil on Paper, 13 APRIL 72
Ink and Colored Pencil on Paper. 13 April 72. A page from a spiral-bound sketchbook. Apollo 16 and a bright red gantry are dotted by red and yellow lights and illuminated by broad bluish-white floodlight beams. The majority of the space is a dark blue sky with pencil scratch marks for depth. The text in the top left corner reads: "13 April 72 / 21:00 Hours." Text in the upper margin reads: "Apollo 16 - Pad 39 A under spotlights as seen from the beach side…one is overwhelmed by the lights." Text in the bottom left corner reads: "One on [sic] those mosquitoes is trapped in the ink in the sky."
