Bloom Burst - White Flowers on Red Splatter

A deep red splatter of paint with ragged edges and scattered droplets sits against a white background. Across its center, about three dozen flat white flowers with 5, 6, 8 and pointed petals form a dense cluster. Behind the flowers, the red has a glossy, marbled look with symmetrical amber and gold shapes.

Someone wants this piece for one bold, easy-to-picture idea: a deep red splash on clean white with a dense heart-shaped cluster of crisp white flowers at its centre. Most red abstracts are pure splatter and most flower art is soft and pastel. Here the loose, outward burst of the red meets calm, regular flower silhouettes. Behind the flowers the red turns glossy and marbled, with amber and gold shapes glowing through in a mirrored, kaleidoscope-like pattern. It is a strong colour statement with a second look waiting inside it.
