This painting shows a loose, sketchy scene with quick brushstrokes. On the left, a dark figure sits on a chair, facing away. To the right, bright flowers in pink, purple, and green burst from a vase. The background is a mix of rough lines and light colors, like a window or wall. The artist used thick, uneven layers of ink to build up the shapes. Some areas look almost like scribbles, while others hold more detail in the flowers. Look up Elizabeth Peyton to see how she plays with simple shapes and bold colors in other works.
