There is always a powerful quality of floral paintings which evoke a sense of joy and hope. In this flower painting each petal is rendered in detail, the plump rose buds rendered in vibrant hues of pink and orange, depicting the composition into bold blocks of colours. The colour palette is balanced by pops of pink, orange, yellow  creating drama through the contrast of light and dark. With roses and lilies taking the centre of this painting the long stems of carnations and iris cuts across the paper balancing the bouquet well.The purple background creates a soft and harmonious atmosphere around the wooden table.”
