This 6 by 4 inch floral still life in oils portrays five vibrant red poppies emerging from green stems in an ethereal mint green porcelain vase. The delicate vase fades into the cool light blue background, echoed in the blue-tinged table below. The table's faint reflection blurs the vase’s contours. Despite its small size, the painting has an open, meditative feel. The bold poppies represent remembrance. Their heads bow as if paying silent tribute, yet their unfolding petals convey hope. The muted background colors and minimal composition create a quiet, contemplative mood. The red blooms evoke remembrance, hope and renewal.
