ECA notes:

– Thomas Colville Fine Arts, Guilford, CT, “Painterly expressions“, [unknown date], 1993, #13, illustrated: color.
“Carlsen creates a fresh interpretation of a conventional flower composition by disrupting its expected balance and symmetry. The tactile surface of this jumbled arrangement with its off-center vase is counterbalanced by the blossoms on the table creating tension and vitality within the still life format.”
