Purple Petunia Print, Georgia O’Keeffe Floral Wall Art Print

A Purple Petunia print has to hold small details without turning fussy, and this one gets its strength from restraint. The flower sits close to the viewer, its violet shapes folding into each other while the white surrounding forms stay soft and spare. The square feeling of the composition makes it feel intimate rather than decorative.

About Georgia O’Keeffe

From the late 1940s O’Keeffe lived in New Mexico, where desert hills, bones and wide skies filled her paintings. Her smooth colour gradients and simple forms suit calm, uncluttered interiors. Botanical prints bring a fresh, natural touch to kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. Botanical illustration combined scientific accuracy with fine artistry long before photography.
