About this work

A clear glass vase holds bright red flowers with a few pink and white ones mixed in. The flowers spill over the sides, some leaning toward the viewer. Behind them, a dark blue wall with a patterned design adds depth, while a pale tabletop supports the vase. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the flowers texture. The colors pop against the dark background, making the red stand out even more. Look up impasto next to see how this thick paint technique works.
