In Morning Bouquet, the flowers seem to be waking up with the dawn. The brightly colored petals, swirling lines, and wavy shapes appear to blend together, making it hard to tell which parts are the flowers and which parts are the leaves. The artist seems to be playing with expressive shapes and colors to create a sense of movement.
