Golden Halo, Yellow Flower with Maroon Center

A single flower with ruffled golden-yellow petals and a dark red, star-shaped center faces the viewer. Thin green stems and small dark buds reach out from below. The background is a pale pink center surrounded by brown and mauve swirls, and the whole image has a thick, painted look.

A single open flower, ruffled yellow-orange with a deep maroon star at its heart, glows against a pale creamy-pink halo and is wrapped in dark brown and mauve swirls that look like thick painted brushwork. Many floral pieces are soft, pastel and pleasant. This one has real colour weight and a strong focal point, and it holds your eye in the middle of the frame. Someone with a bare wall and a warm or neutral room would want it because it stops them and reads as a bold, painterly flower, not a generic bouquet.
