About this work

This painting shows a messy, colorful scene of flowers in a basket. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, mixing bright yellows, pinks, and greens. A wooden crate sits in front, filled with more paint and tools. The flowers look almost alive, with bold reds and whites standing out. The paint is applied in big, uneven strokes, making it feel like it was done quickly. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
