About this work

This painting shows a dark vase holding three red flowers with some green leaves. The petals look soft and slightly faded, while the background is a mix of greens, yellows, and blues—almost like a blurred garden. The brushstrokes are loose, with some areas smudged or uneven. The artist signed it in the corner, but the style feels more like a quick sketch than a polished work. The colors pop against the dark vase, making the flowers stand out.
