About this work

This painting shows a simple vase of flowers on a dark surface. The flowers are mostly sunflowers and small white blossoms, some still fresh, others wilting. The vase is plain and slightly chipped, with water droplets scattered around it. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the flowers a rough, almost tactile look. The dark background makes the colors pop, especially the yellows and greens. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
