Briefly about the painting:

This is an amazing mixture of real and surreal. The fantasy bouquet, illuminated by the greenish-blue moon (it looks out from the right), is turned into a shimmering construction. Determining the genre is not easy: a mixture of still life with landscape. Unusual flowers, like living creatures growing from a simple jug, no longer fit in it, begin to fill the field, move in a wave towards the house, the white roof of which can be seen in the background. In 2015, the painting was sold by the Golden Section auction house for seven and a half thousand dollars.
