Story / Additional InfoThis work was greatly influenced by Henri Matisse. It is an interior with door that leads to an outdoor scene, reminiscent of the post impressionists like Matisse and Bonnard. The anthuriums are favorite flowers of the artist since her parents owned an orchid raising business which included an anthurium house. Their red waxy petals inspired the artist to paint a picture infused with red, echoed in the floor, the walls, the outside tile and the apples. The letter on the table is imagined by the artist to be written to her parents, a memory of the days when she would visit the nursery. The grounds were filled with fruit trees like the cherry tree in the background.
