Patchwork Leap, Stylized Dolphin in Navy and Red

A leaping dolphin shown as a bold silhouette against a white square. Its body is filled with navy, red and cream curved shapes, with a small spiral near the shoulder. A deep red patterned border surrounds the white field.

A dolphin is an easy subject to love, but this one is built differently. The leaping silhouette is clear from across a room, and up close its body turns into a mosaic of crescent, teardrop and petal shapes in navy, red and cream. A homeowner with a coastal-leaning room, or a wall that needs one bold graphic figure in navy and red, gets a recognisable animal and a pattern to keep looking at. It is not a realistic dolphin photo and not a generic ocean print.
