Blommetjies

A vibrant arrangement of flowers in a clear glass vase occupies the composition, rendered with loose, expressive brushwork. Red, yellow, white and pink blooms nestle amongst green foliage, their forms suggested rather than meticulously defined. The warm brown ground provides subtle contrast to the jewel tones of the flowers, whilst the translucent vessel anchors the arrangement’s base. Executed in oil on board, the work demonstrates the immediacy and tactile quality characteristic of this intimate scale.
