Painting, Watercolor on Paper, THE ROCKS AND THINGS GO BACK TO HOUSTON
The Rocks and Things, December 21, 1972. A pair of long legs is stretched out horizontally with red shoes resting on top of one of three rounded cartons of moon specimens in the center of the piece. Two rectangular cartons are situated above the other three, and all of them have red accents, possibly the labels. Two rows of bluish gray strokes cross the top of the scene horizontally, representing the wall, and a dark brown column demarcates the right wall. Writing in the upper left corner reads: "The rocks and things go back to Houston. Sleep where ye may. 20:45 21 Dec72 on board the C-141 over the Pacific Ocean. Apollo 17."
A19760457000 and A19760459000 are both on the same sheet of paper, one on either side.
