About this work

This painting shows a clay pot filled with flowers. The pot is rough and earthy, with a mix of brown and green colors. Inside, bright yellow and red flowers stick out, some leaning over the edges. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the ridges. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint to create depth.
