A dense autumn bouquet fills the canvas edge to edge: a burnt-orange dahlia at the heart, flanked by creamy ivory peonies and dahlias, with deep burgundy blooms below. Glossy red rose-hip berries, crimson fall leaves and dusty silver-green foliage weave between the flowers against a soft sage ground.

The flowers are built from thick, buttery palette-knife strokes, with ridges that catch a warm, diffused light and a faint linen weave showing through. The muted, earthy palette gives the whole piece a cozy, romantic harvest mood.
