Pinwheel Blanket Flowers in Red and Gold

A large red-centered flower with long pink and yellow-orange petals sits in the middle, with two smaller similar flowers at the upper corners. The background is a mix of green and blue-gray circles and curls. A dark green border and an outer frame of orange and gold swirls surround the scene.

Someone wants this piece because the flowers look sculpted rather than drawn. Every petal and every background shape is made of tiny curling swirls, so three blanket flowers glow in red, pink and gold against cool green and blue-gray. Most floral art is soft or botanical-literal. This one whirls like a pinwheel and has a thick, oil-like surface. The orange and gold swirled frame gives it a finished, mat-like presence. It suits a person who wants real colour and energy from a flower, not a quiet still life.
