Two hands emerge from a decorative blue and white porcelain vessel, grasping at wilting lettuce leaves and withered botanicals rendered in muted greens and tans. The composition sits centered against a warm peachy ground, with the text "I'VE TRIED MY BEST" lettered above in a matter-of-fact serif font, creating a wry commentary on effort and imperfection through delicate line work and restrained watercolor. Printed on clear acrylic and made to order in two sizes. A serving piece for the dinner party or a pop of color as a kitchen accent, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a big-box print.
