The structure seems to sit on an ochre-colored base and fade nebulously into the grey background. The pink surface growing out of its dark shades is interspersed with beige, yellow and red tones that look like squat little horns or blunt claws. The main pink tone contains a wide variation of brightening and branching texture-giving color concentrations and darkening. The three-dimensional shape can be seen in the arrangement of petals. The tear of the object is continued in the background in a shade of gray.

This sheet is one of the typical watercolors from the 90s. They often come from watercolor blocks. Study of an oddity shows the joy of form and color design in my kind of watercolor painting. I don’t remember, but I don’t think there is anything profound about the sheet, except the experience of the color increase and the process of creating a picture loosely and freely on the white emptiness of the sheet.
