A painting with various abutting and superimposing fields of vibrant color. A large, saturated oval of green extends diagonally across the center. Reds and oranges dominate the upper portion of the canvas, while the lower-right corner shows several fields of yellow.

A pastel. Light blue scribbles cover nearly the entire surface, more sparsely toward the edges, allowing the brown paper to show through. A bright yellowish-white orb appears toward the top, while toward the bottom of the sheet a similarly colored, dappled line runs vertically from a horizon line to the paper’s bottom edge.
