Helena Tener gives the whole frame to a single full pink bloom, painted in acrylic on silk. The petals are loose and many-layered, rolling from a deeper rose at the core out to paler, almost translucent edges where the light catches them. A pale cream bud sits at the lower left, and green leaves fan out around the flower into a soft, blurred background of green and lavender. The medium lets the colour sink and bloom into the cloth, which suits the heavy, slightly overblown look of the flower. Catalogue title The Rose.
