Description
One of Adams' last prints, from 1985 using crayons to create the image and blend the colors. Adams comments on this image on page 421 of "A Meticulous Serenity - The Prints of Clinton Adams, 1948 - 1997" by Robert Conway: "This was my last print at Tamarind while I was still working there, in 1985, just before I retired. Marge Devon, the director, wanted me to do the collectors' print for her subscription membership."
