The foliage is rendered in vibrant greens and yellows, interspersed with rich red and orange flowers that brighten the foreground.

Vignon’s use of wax crayon brings a lively texture to the landscape, evoking the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.

The peaceful orchard setting and vivid color palette make this piece ideal for collectors drawn to serene, nature-inspired compositions.
