A rounded, heavy ceramic vase sits slightly left of center on a wooden tabletop, overflowing with eight full sunflowers that fan outward, each with a dark seed-head center. A few loose petals have fallen onto the table below.

The flowers are built from thick impasto, with palette-knife ridges catching the soft, even, warm light, while the background and tabletop are blended smoothly to push the blooms forward. Golden yellow against deep umber and olive brown gives the still life a warm, rustic and nostalgic feel.
