Tall stems and blossoms surge upward from the canvas, their reds, yellows, and touches of violet scattered rhythmically across a field of rich, layered greens. The flowers are suggested rather than defined, built from confident, expressive strokes that emphasize vitality over botanical detail.
Against a luminous pale blue sky, thin vertical lines and flickers of colour rise like grasses stirred by a warm breeze, creating a sense of light, air, and constant motion. Drum’s bold palette and energetic handling convey the abundance and optimism of spring at its height, transforming a wild meadow into an immersive, joyful experience that feels spontaneous, alive, and unmistakably celebratory.
