Seed Pod on Violet

A single ripening lotus pod tilts towards the viewer against a flat field of violet. Its rounded head is worked in green and yellow, each socket cradling a dark blue seed, while the rim darkens where it dries.

A browning stem and small leaf trail off to the right. The pod's honeycomb of cells is described with patient realism, and the strong complementary play of yellow-green against violet gives this small panel a vivid, contemplative charge.
