Deep magenta peonies, dusky mauve roses and burgundy tulips spill in a lush, overflowing cluster, a few heavy petals drifting down onto the dark ground. Thick layered paint and expressive visible brushwork give the blooms a rich, tactile presence, while firelight-warm illumination rises from below, flaring across the petals in fuchsia, crimson and gold against a dense brown-black background.
