Flack’s aptly named still life Skull and Roses immediately draws the viewer’s attention to the large human skull crowned with pink, red, and yellow roses, and then to the various ephemera scattered around the scene: a tube of red paint, a seashell, a small tin of untouched watercolor paints, a jar of green paint and a jar of blue paint, and a half-melted blue candle inside a metallic jar.
