The strong light shining onto the still life cuts out individual sunflower petals, illuminating them in bright cadmium yellows. The shadows fall on other sunflowers, leaving them almost the same color as the clementines on the plate. The light blue flowers carry their color throughout the painting, even into the shadows underneath the vase and plate.
