Oil painting on canvas depicts a semi-abstract composition of flowers in three vases. A green and orange vase with half a dozen blue flowers with yellow centers appears in the foreground at lower right. A smaller vase with three round flowers also appears in the foreground at lower left. A brown and purple bowl of red and orange flowers with narrow petals rests on a ledge behind the other vases at center left. The background contains multicolored areas in shades of blue, green, and red.
