12"x16" A tiny moth rests on a bloom of burnished golds and rust, caught against a deep, velvety night-blue. A richly layered floral study that balances warm, autumnal petals with cool, jewel-green foliage. The artist builds form through fine, textured brushwork and subtle highlights, giving the dahlia a sculptural depth while the dark background makes the colors sing. Intimate and dramatic.
