Loving Object
2004

A watercolor painting featuring two detailed, jewel-like brooch designs on a green watercolor background. The brooch on the left is shaped like an exotic flower with dark red and blue petals, while the one on the right resembles a paisley pattern with red and white tones and intricate detailing. Handwritten notes beside each design mention their material and price, and at the bottom, there's a personal note indicating the piece is an expensive gift for someone named Whitney, signed with "XX Ella."
