LOTUS-EGGSHELL

On a road trip to our cabin in Northern Arizona, I was inspired to create a contemporary floral pattern.  Hand drawn; the petals of this floral design seem to suggest that the lotus is floating.   There are many shades of color in this pattern. The layering of deep and rich colors within the petals enhances the petals while giving them dimension.  Why three Lotus on Stems?  Typically, odd numbers are more interesting than even.   Why the stems?  The stems act as stripes which help to anchor the flowers, stabilizing them while at the same time giving the  design structure.
