The painting features a strikingly oversized and stylized bouquet of flowers arranged in a light brown vase. The flowers are not depicted realistically. The composition is dominated by shades of red and pink, accented by bursts of orange and violet. Central to the bouquet are three large, pink peonies, surrounded by a lively assortment of orange marigolds, violet iris, delicate bellflowers, and porcelain berries. At the base of the arrangement, a cascade of marigolds and a trailing branch of porcelain berries spill gracefully over the edge of the vase.
The background transitions dramatically, shifting from a vivid red at the top to a deep, moody blue at the bottom, adding depth and atmosphere to the scene. Below the vase, a light blue tablecloth adorned with a geometric pattern stretches across the bottom of the composition, grounding the artwork.
The vase itself, rendered in a warm, earthy tone, bears an inscription:
“You look so pretty and I love this view
Don’t bother looking down
We’re not going that way
At least I know, I am here to stay”
The quote is taken from the song “We Fell in Love in October” by girl in red, adding a personal and emotional layer to the piece.
