About this work

This drawing shows a single flower standing alone. The petals are simple lines, open wide at the top. The stem is thin and wobbly, with a few jagged roots at the bottom. The whole thing is drawn in pencil on plain paper—no color, no background. It looks like the artist focused on shape over detail. If you like this, check out Ellsworth Kelly.
