Moon Flower Alone

7”x10”

Watercolor, Gouache & Ink on Watercolor Paper

This piece centers on a single moon flower in full bloom at night—quiet, luminous, and slightly otherworldly. Painted in watercolor, gouache and ink, the soft white petals contrast with deep green leaves. Surrounding the flower is a halo of red, layered intentionally as a symbolic warning—referencing the moon flower’s reality as an extremely poisonous plant. The red introduces tension, underscoring the contrast between beauty and danger. The moon flower blooms at night and fades by morning, heightening its sense of mystery and impermanence.
