Purple gladiolus blooms cluster densely across a cream ground in this botanical study, rendered in soft watercolor with precise botanical observation. Green stems frame the composition while Japanese characters appear below, anchoring the piece in both horticultural documentation and cultural tradition. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
