This colorful floral print is a still life composition of a white vase filled with Pansies in the primary colors of the rainbow. There are red, white, blue and yellow blooms arranged in a half moon shape. They are spilling over onto the edge of the ledge that the vase is sitting on. The background is a dark muted purple brown in contrast to the vivid colors of the flowers. Light is reflected off the vase giving it a shiny texture.
