DescriptionEn suite with 3 others in the "Green Chateau" series (Hyde Murray collection, 2010.5.5 and 1995.10.9,10). The four prints use the same overlay or top 'stone' of all-over green dots that are the artist's fingerprints. These are denser in the upper half of the image and form a green diagonal swath there. The lower portion of the rectangle has an open area with an irregular organic shape outlined in the lower right. There is a more solid green 'figure' on the left side, an abstract peanut-like shape with two 'legs.'

The gouache on Green Chateau I is green.
