This painting shows a simple glass jar filled with flowers. The blooms are mostly orange and brown, with some purple and yellow mixed in. The jar sits on a light surface, and a few leaves and a small bird are scattered on the ground nearby. The artist used soft, loose brushstrokes to capture the flowers’ colors and texture. The background is plain, keeping focus on the flowers and jar. Next, look up Stocks, Katharine M. for more of her work.
