Swirled Stone Bloom, Pink Floral Relief

A pink and cream flower with five rounded petals and orange stamens rises on green stems beside a bud and brown leaves. It looks like a carved relief on a pale, weathered stone wall. A swirling, paint-like texture covers the whole surface.

Someone wants this piece because it is a flower that looks carved and painted at once. The bloom has the raised, shadowed look of a stone relief, but marbled, oil-paint-like swirls run over every petal and the wall behind it. Most floral prints are either a clean photograph or a flat illustration. This one is a soft pink-and-cream flower in a warm beige and brown palette, with a tactile surface that rewards a second look.
