One of the later works in the series was this floral painting, which came about because I feel that flowers are an essential component of any still life collection. Originally conceived of as a candid scene of a large floral fridge, the composition quickly turned into something more arranged and allegorical. The painting is a variation on an idea by Ambrosius Bosschaert's still life of flowers in a niche.
