Ember Star Red Flower

A bright red flower with six long petals and a yellow center sits in the middle of the frame. Fine, glowing lines run along the petals and through the surrounding green leaves, which gives the whole image a textured, painterly look. Small patches of orange, pink and pale yellow show through at the edges.

A single red flower, seen close and straight on, that fills the frame and reads from across the room. Fine glowing lines etch the petals and tangle through the green behind them, so the flower looks both photographed and drawn. Most red flower art is either a soft, realistic bloom or a flat graphic. This one has a luminous gold-yellow heart, petals that radiate like a star, and a surface that keeps rewarding a longer look.
