c Flower

A vibrant arrangement of flowers occupies a blue vessel set against a warm, purple-toned ground. Yellow, pink, purple, and white blooms—some with prominent dark centres—rise in loose profusion, their forms suggested through bold brushwork rather than botanical precision. The composition balances naturalism with expressive mark-making, the paint applied with confident, gestural strokes. A red form nestles at the base, anchoring the lower register. Gericke’s acrylic technique on board demonstrates the confident handling developed through decades of painting practice.
