Harrington maintained a studio and gallery in Carmel and exhibited widely in California during her career.

This delicate still life depicts a loosely gathered bouquet of wildflowers arranged in a small ceramic vase. Painted with a light, atmospheric touch, the composition combines cheerful daisies, garden blooms, and grasses against a softly diffused background rendered in washes of blue, ivory, and gray. The watercolor demonstrates Harrington's confident handling of transparency and color, creating a fresh, luminous quality that captures the spontaneity of a freshly picked bouquet.

The artwork is beautifully presented in a classic silver-leaf frame with a wide cream mat, lending the piece a timeless elegance suitable for traditional, cottage, French country, coastal, or English-inspired interiors.

The gentle palette and airy composition make this an exceptionally versatile decorative work—equally at home in a bedroom, breakfast room, hallway, powder room, or curated gallery wall.
