Lit From Within: Pink Flower Clusters on Blue

A vertical view of many flat-topped flower clusters in shades of pink, coral, orange and cream, growing among green leaves and slender dark stems. Behind them is a blurred, mottled backdrop of deep blue and purple, with a couple of red blooms out of focus at the upper left. The whole image has a soft, painterly finish.

Someone wants this piece over ten other flower prints because the pink, coral and peach blossom heads look lit from within against a deep blue-violet backdrop. The flowers are real and recognisable, but the surface looks brushed and oil-like. It reads as a garden and as a painting at once, and the colour pairing is saturated and warm against cool rather than the usual pastel floral.
