A Scheherazade with graceful hands picks delicate, fragrant flowers near the endless arches of an Oriental palace while blue birds look on. Spinning flower-dancers in petal skirts, sleeping beauties with long wavy hair. A pond bottom covered in rosette motifs, tiles reflect the dawn under rippling water … This Arabesque theme was inspired by faded poppy or tuberose flower pods and husks. Blue-grays and soft sunrise tones are enhanced by coppery lights.
