Description
A three-color linocut with a bronze metallic ink highlighting details such as the hyacinth petals, a game of tic-tac-toe in the background, and a pamphlet which partially reads "Peace is the Only...". This appears to have been created when he was married to the artist Emmy Lou Packard in the 1950s and '60s, as there is a Christmas dedication between Randall's signature and titling.
Other impressions of this work do not have the addition of the bronze ink; however, it's unknown which, if any, edition was formally published by the artist.
