From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows two flowers side by side. On the left is a bright yellow bloom with six petals and a thick green stem. On the right is a small cluster of white flowers with delicate petals and a slender stem. Both flowers have long, narrow leaves. The yellow flower looks like a daffodil, while the white one has tiny star-shaped petals. The artist used watercolor to keep the colors soft and natural. Next, look up watercolor to see how artists use layers of paint to create depth.
