The Bright Eye - White Narcissus with Red-Rimmed Cup

A single white flower with six rounded petals faces the viewer. Its small yellow center is edged with a ruffled red rim and has green and tan stamens inside. The background is a soft blur of greens, dark stems and pale round highlights, and a fine paint-like texture covers the whole image.

The pull is the small yellow cup with its ruffled red rim, which sits in the middle of pure white petals like a bright eye. The petals glow in daylight against a dark, softly blurred green background. The flower is sharp and the world behind it drifts into stems and round pale highlights. A fine paint-like texture over the whole image gives it a brushed, oil-paint surface. Most white-flower prints are pale and airy. This one has depth, contrast and a single clear focal point, so it holds a wall rather than decorating it.
