About this work

This painting shows a vase with a wilted bouquet. The flowers are mostly brown and green, some still holding a few red or pink bits. The vase sits on a warm orange surface, and the background is a solid blue. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors blend unevenly. The flowers look dried out, almost lifeless, but the artist still painted them with care. The way the paint sits on the canvas is thick in spots, giving it texture. Check out the technique: impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
