Flowers in a Blue Vase or Vase with Daisies and Anemones

The story

Flowers in a blue vase shows his progress. Light and colour are dominant in this exuberant still life. Van Gogh enhances the colour contrasts and uses a wide range of brushstrokes. Colour contrasts On a table top, painted in bold yellowish green brushstrokes, the shining light blue vase contains white daisies, yellow sunflowers, blue lilacs, bright red anemones and dark red lilies(?). The vase and flowers stand out against a blue pointillist background that transitions into a combination of grey and purple towards the bottom.
