The artwork presents a single yellow daffodil rendered with vivid clarity against a textured purple background that enriches the composition with depth and contrast. The petals display a luminous yellow tone, highlighted by a trumpet-shaped corona that gracefully fades from yellow at its center to a delicate, ruffled white edge. This subtle transition adds dimension and softness to the flower’s structure. The green stem anchors the piece, providing a natural counterpoint to the warm petals and amplifying their presence. Beneath the bold color choices, the background’s varying shades of purple create a sense of movement and space without detracting from the flower’s prominence. Together, the elements combine to form a dynamic yet focused composition that celebrates the intricate beauty of a single bloom with both intensity and balance. Measures 8"x 8" on Stretched canvas
