Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Fleurs sous la lune »

“Flowers under the moon” — pink blooms on tall stems beneath a large moon in a deep blue night sky. The piece is stately and slightly mysterious.

What the picture shows

The ground is a deep blue night with violet and almost black passages below. A large pale yellow moon glows in the upper right corner, sending light rippling outwards in arcs. Five open flowers recall water lilies: the petals shade from dark cherry at the base to soft pink and white at the tips. The stems are slender and turquoise, and large stylised leaves lie across the lower edge — blue, with long veins and orange dashes. Fine dots and dotted lines are scattered over the whole field, suggesting star dust. The fill is partial: beads cover the flowers, stems, leaves and threads of dots, while the night sky with its moon stays printed on the canvas.
