A blue and white patterned vase holds a loose bouquet of white flowers, green leaves and three dark-rimmed sunflower-like blooms, all set against swirling strokes of sky blue and butter yellow. The sunflower centers, ringed in deep blue, can pass for the finder squares, while the clusters of tiny white blossoms and leaf strokes carry the light and dark modules. Thick directional brushwork in the background keeps a steady rhythm, and the dark green foliage against pale petals gives the pattern strong contrast. Visible paint ridges give the surface a tactile, hand-painted feel.
