France, C., Margaret Olley, Craftsman House, NSW, p. 73 (illus.)
"Olley's freer, more expressive style resulted in the warm sensuality of Cannas 1960. The exuberant orange and reds which fill the canvas give rise to a joie de vivre as does the vase which melts into the painterly table top, while the angled secateurs suggest haste between picking and painting the bouquet compared with their more structured compositional role in later works." Christine France
