About this work

This painting shows a bright bouquet of flowers in a clay pot. The flowers are red, pink, and white, with green leaves. The pot sits on a wooden table, and the background looks like a rough, blue-gray wall with some floating shapes that might be leaves or brushstrokes. The brushwork is thick and uneven, almost like the paint was slapped on quickly. The colors pop against the dark background, making the flowers stand out. If you like this style, look up impasto next—it’s when paint is laid on thick so you can almost see the brushstrokes.
