About this work

This painting shows three squash-like shapes on a rough, textured surface. The colors are mostly dark reds and browns, with the squash painted in thick yellow and green strokes. The background looks uneven, almost like cracked earth or a rough wall. The brushstrokes are heavy, making the shapes pop out. The painting feels raw and a little messy, like it was done quickly or with a lot of paint on the brush. If you like this style, look up impasto.
