Design from a Proposed Portfolio

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an arrangement of abstract shapes and lines, with fluid, curving forms suggesting petals and leaves. These shapes resemble stylized, abstract interpretations of flowers and foliage, with symmetrical motifs. The bold lines and fill colors in red, yellow, blue, and green form patterns akin to flower blossoms and stems, resulting in a floral-themed piece connected to garden or botanical imagery. The overall composition is balanced and decorative, depicting an organic and abstract representation of nature.
