This sketch shows a loose cluster of flowers, their petals blurred into swirls of color. Blues, pinks, and whites mix in soft, uneven strokes. The brushwork is quick and rough, with some areas left pale and others smudged. The title, *Kaleidoscope*, hints at how the shapes repeat and shift like reflections. The painting feels more like a quick study than a finished piece. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
