Yellow is the rarest color in nature, Dickinson says. Saved for sunsets. Spent scantly and selectly - like a lover's words.

This small buttercup study is a quiet celebration of exactly that - the soft, selective magic of yellow. Pale blooms in butter and yellow-green watercolor, with individual petals cut and layered in collage, all set against a clean white ground.

It's a companion to "I Dwell in Possibility" - the same palette, the same intimate scale - but with its own distinct feeling. 

Lovely on its own, and beautiful alongside its companion piece.

Size: 5 × 7 inches (image) | Framed: 9 × 9 inches
Medium: Original watercolor and cut paper collage
Frame: White or Blue 9 × 9 shadow box - ready to hang
One of a kind: Yes - this is an original, one-of-a-kind work

"Nature Rarer Uses Yellow" by Emily Dickinson

Nature rarer uses Yellow

Than another Hue.

Saves she all of that for Sunsets

Prodigal of Blue -

Spending Scarlet, like a Woman -

Yellow she affords

Only scantly and selectly

Like a Lover's Words.
