This drawing shows a quiet, layered landscape with soft hills and a winding river. The colors are muted—blues, greens, and pinks—like a watercolor sketch. A train tracks cuts through the scene, leading to a small town with a few buildings. The hills have a wavy, almost abstract shape, and there’s a tiny yellow sun near some purple flowers. The artist wrote the title and date right on the paper, marking it as 1968. The mix of fountain pen, colored pencil, and pastel gives it a sketchy, hand-drawn feel.
