This artwork evokes a soft, textile-like quality through its muted palette of blush and earth tones. Vertical bands stretch down the canvas, gently undulating to create a rhythm reminiscent of woven fabric or the subtle variegation of organic materials. The lines, with their varying thickness and spacing, offer a sense of dimension and tactile appeal, as if one could reach out and feel the contours of the piece. Its warmth and gentle repetition invite a sense of calm and reflection, making it a quietly compelling addition to any collection, with the power to harmonize a room with its understated, comforting presence.
Vera Neumann's abstract watercolor and collage art is a vibrant tapestry of color and texture, reflecting her innovative approach to design.

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.
