This painting shows a huge, swirling white flower made of thick, fuzzy petals. The center is packed tight, while the outer edges spread out in soft, wavy lines. The whole thing looks like it’s glowing against a dark, gray background. The artist used white pastel on a dark panel, which makes the flower stand out sharply. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the flower’s petals are three-dimensional. Try looking up pastel to see how artists use this soft, chalky medium.
