Still Life with Meadow Flowers and Roses

A dense still life of a tall vase crowded with red poppies, white daisies, and blue cornflowers, with orange and yellow blooms rising above. In the foreground, pink roses and more flowers spill across a dark surface, against a murky green and brown background. Loose, visible brushwork gives the painting a lively, textured surface.
