Two roses arc gracefully across the composition, their forms partially cut away—one in full bloom, the other curling into decay. Warm hues of burnt ochres, deep oranges, and soft magentas blend into cooler whites as the petals fade, set against a dark background that hints at deep blue in the lower half of the tondo.

Exploring themes of transience and impermanence, Sundogs captures a fleeting moment in time, balancing vitality and loss within a weightless, floating space. The arching composition enhances the sense of movement and cyclical change, evoking the grandeur of Dutch and Spanish still-life traditions while imbuing the work with a contemplative, ethereal quality.
