About this work

This print shows a simple scene: a four-leaf clover with a dark, glittery center, perched on a single large leaf. The clover is a deep blue-green, while the leaf below is mostly black with tiny specks of white. Tiny red dots float in the pale background like dust or rain. The glitter in the leaf’s center catches light, making it shimmer. The artist used woodcut blocks for the shapes and added watercolor for soft edges.
