Wildflowers
A tall vertical arrangement of wildflowers rises from grasses and leafy stems. Goldenrod-yellow plumes, rust-red blossoms, purple gentians and white blooms cluster above dark berries and reddish-brown leaves, painted in fine watercolor on off-white paper.
Look closer: Small white star-shaped blossoms scattered among the grasses at the upper left.
