Details
This charming design depicts an amorous couple reclining in a gentle embrace: their eyes meet as their hands move to lock. The erect tropical flowers that lay behind them echo the young couple's chemistry, while the landscape behind them echoes the contours of their pose. The composition's warm and dramatic tones of lavender, red, pink, rose, and intense blue underscore the vigor of their embrace.
