This artwork is a lush, verdant abstraction, with strokes of chartreuse and olive suggesting the vitality of a rain-soaked forest. Dark inky patches anchor the composition, giving weight and contrast to the translucent greenery. The play of light and shadow, of solid form and fluid line, speaks to the dynamic interplay between the natural world and the artist’s hand. The vibrant yellow hues cut through the green like sunbeams piercing through a canopy of leaves, offering warmth and depth. This painting captures the essence of growth and renewal, an organic piece that would bring a breath of life and sophistication to any contemporary space.

The majority of Vera's original artwork is unsigned and undated. This absence of her signature is largely due to her original artwork being used in textile and houseware designs, where her trademarked signature was later added. Typically, her original artwork was named after being incorporated into a master strike off. In some instances, the date of the piece was added to the back; however, this date may signify when the artwork was trademarked or presented to a customer. Some of her original pieces include notes on the back, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of The Vera Company.
