Cosmos — Original Botanical Study

Coral cosmos nodding on slender stems against sunlit yellow — loose watercolor, fine pen-and-ink line, and a thread of gold.

One flower, looked at properly. No field, no story, no arrangement — just the thing itself, given full attention.

Small enough for the places nobody decorates: a bathroom shelf, a hallway, the wall beside a light switch. An original painting, under thirty dollars.

A small original botanical study, hand-painted and one of a kind (about 4.5 × 5.5 inches). Signed. One of a four-flower series. When she's gone, she's gone.
