There are very few still life paintings in Lemieux’s creations, but the flower as a pictorial element is found there, more regularly. Whether in a field dotted with wild flowers or as a contemplative object, Lemieux proposes the flower more often in a wider context. Here, in this still life, the contrasting colors stand out from the shape of the bouquet and the lighter background. The bouquet is composed of flowers with a starry shape in a rounded and diffuse set. This presentation is null without recalling the refined portraits of the previous decade.

Lemieux will say "A great painter represents his time. Whether the painter presents this time to us, not scenes from his native country or still lifes, that is of little importance as long as he expresses on the canvas what his intelligence and his emotion dictated to him."
