Flora D. Fisher (1891-1984), 'Bouquet', no date, oil on masonite, 24 x 30 inches. Brigham Young University Museum of Art.
Flora Davis Fisher, of Provo, studied art at Brigham Young University, particularly focusing on watercolor and oil painting. Fisher became known for her color-filled landscapes and flower paintings, such as Bouquet.
The brown basket with a chevron design and the woven material underneath give this still life a comfortable, homey feel. The red blossoms fill the composition and the bright blue and green background is energetic and inviting. Unconfined, the bouquet organically spills out of the basket for a natural composition.
