Little Stems, Giant Sorrel

Finished editorial acrylic painting, landscape 2:1, with the immediacy of a hand-drawn marker illustration. One squat wood sorrel sprig occupies the lower-left third: three short, uneven stems each carry three broad heart-shaped leaflets meeting at a central point. Make one leaf cluster delightfully oversized and another small and tilted; keep the botanical silhouette unmistakable. Opaque mint-green leaves, bright lime accents and a few thick dark-blue painted contours against a flat periwinkle-blue background. Simple brush shapes, slightly irregular edges, minimal surface texture, no fine veins. A short cobalt ground stroke anchors the sprig. Leave generous uninterrupted space above and to the right. Cool, crisp colour rather than realistic shaded lighting. No cream or beige, no earthy teal-and-terracotta palette, gradients, 3D shading, collage or intricate hatching. No people, tools, text, logos or watermarks.
