Chinese Tulips by Helen Paul Framed Art Print

This is a framed art print titled "Chinese Tulips" by Helen Paul. The print depicts a vibrant floral arrangement featuring red tulips and what appear to be white or light-colored chrysanthemums, accented with blue foliage or flowers, all housed in a purple-toned vase. The style appears to be watercolor or a similar medium, characterized by soft edges and a somewhat impressionistic quality where colors bleed and blend, creating a splatter or textured background effect. The colors are vivid, with strong reds, blues, and purples contrasting against a lighter background. The print is housed within a dark green, possibly wooden or metal, frame with a flat profile, and is protected by a clear pane of glass or acrylic. The visible reflections on the glass suggest an un-matted composition, with the image extending close to the frame's edge. The artist's signature, "Helen Paul," is visible in the lower left, along with some stylized square markings, possibly indicating a date or edition information, though these are not clearly discernible. The title "CHINESE TULIPS" is printed prominently in purple capital letters at the bottom left, with the artist's full name "HELEN PAUL" in similar text at the bottom right. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of damage to the print itself, though the reflective surface makes it difficult to assess perfectly. The frame appears sturdy, with no visible chips or cracks. The print likely dates from the late 20th century, given the aesthetic and the common style of framed prints from that period. The craftsmanship of the print itself is indicative of a mass-produced art reproduction, designed for decorative rather than fine art collecting purposes.
