Trumpet Flower
1940

A vibrant watercolor painting of a large, abstract flower with a red and orange center and green petals, set against a moody, dark background with hints of blue and brown. The flower appears to be floating on a reflective surface, creating a water-like effect with ripples around the stem. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
