Bathed in soft pastel blues, this artwork is a serene meditation on shape and texture. A large, heart-like form is bisected by fluid lines and curves, one half filled with a sea of concentric circles rippling outward like droplets on still water, while the other is etched with the quietude of straight, vertical lines, suggesting a tranquil rainfall. The gentle interplay of the circular patterns with the linear strokes evokes a sense of harmony and balance. This piece is a whisper-soft dream captured on canvas, a tranquil reflection that invites the viewer to lose themselves in its peaceful depths. It's a soothing addition to any space seeking a touch of calm elegance.

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.
