Final Thoughts

Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose remains one of John Singer Sargent’s most vibrantly-colored pieces. The painting conveys just as much warmth from the lanterns and summer flowers as it does crisp autumn, through the cool-toned dusk and dried underbrush. 

The key to transitioning between this summer-fall boundary is versatility – from mixing long sleeves with shorts or dresses, to incorporating both darker fall colors with summer fabrics, it’s useful to have universal pieces that can offer warmth and coolness.
