May Vale, produced a number of small flower studies in oils, and in this work she has captured the light on the Geraniums and their petals, the brightness of the blooms, and the reflection of the light on the brass vessel in which they stand.. She loved her garden, and in the 1920's, grew many flowers around her hilltop studio and hut, 'The Shack' in Diamond Creek.
