October Bouquet by Nunzio La Spina

A side table, situated at the corner of two walls, displays a cobalt-blue vase filled with profuse blooms and fall foliage. Blue, cross-hatched walls and the table’s gray tone harmonize with the bouquet’s primarily pink and rose tones. The painting’s drama comes via light from upper right that is reflected upon the vase, sets apart its floral blooms from the background, and modulates the walls different tones. Compare the aesthetic here to his more experimental “Flower Study.”
