This artwork is a sprightly composition of botanical charm, where the vivacious orange of poppies and the delicate blue of cornflowers play a delightful contrast. The flora is rendered with a light, graceful touch, their petals seeming to sway with an unseen breeze. Accents of small, crimson butterfly-like blossoms add a whimsical touch, as if they've alighted upon the green, sketched stems for a moment's rest. The piece possesses a spontaneous, garden-fresh quality, capturing the essence of a bright, blossoming field on a perfect spring day. It's an inviting scene, one that brings the joy and color of a country garden into the space it adorns.
Vera Neumann's floral watercolor and collage original art is a celebration of nature's beauty, rendered in her signature style. Known for her vibrant color palette and bold, graphic designs, Vera's floral pieces are no exception. Each flower is meticulously depicted with a delicate yet confident hand, capturing the essence of the blooms in a way that feels both lively and elegant. The use of watercolor adds a softness to the petals and leaves, while the collage elements introduce a tactile quality, inviting the viewer to explore the artwork up close. Vera's floral compositions are a testament to her skill as an artist and her deep appreciation for the natural world.
The majority of Vera's original artwork is unsigned and undated. This absence of her signature is largely due to her original artwork being used in textile and houseware designs, where her trademarked signature was later added. Typically, her original artwork was named after being incorporated into a master strike off. In some instances, the date of the piece was added to the back; however, this date may signify when the artwork was trademarked or presented to a customer. Some of her original pieces include notes on the back, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of The Vera Company.
