Still Life with Spider Mums by Ann Grimaldi

Centrally positioned, a transparent glass vase holds a bouquet of flowers with prominent, spiky petals in shades of deep purple and pale yellow. The vase allows for a view of the flower stems submerged in water. To the right, a bright green apple adds a contrasting element with its smooth, rounded form. A soft, draped cloth in neutral tones serves as a backdrop, providing a sense of depth and texture. The painting employs a loose, impressionistic style, with visible brushstrokes contributing to the overall sense of immediacy and spontaneity. The composition is balanced, with the floral arrangement and the apple creating a visual dialogue.
