Flowers

A dense, overflowing bouquet of pink roses, orange tiger lilies, blue delphiniums and small white blossoms is gathered in a green glass jug beside a dark blue pitcher on a stone ledge. A sprig of red currants trails at the lower right, and the arrangement is set against a thick backdrop of garden foliage and more distant roses.

Saturated pinks and oranges stand out against deep, varied greens, applied in thick, confident dabs and strokes that build up individual petals and leaves. The dense composition and rich color give the still life an abundant, sun-warmed, garden-in-summer feeling.
