About this work

This painting shows a bright garden corner with a stone wall and wooden bench. Big white and pink flowers grow in the foreground, mixed with purple and red blooms. The brushstrokes are loose and thick, especially on the greenery and petals. The artist used short, bold strokes to show light hitting the leaves and flowers. The colors pop against the rough stone wall and simple bench. Look up impasto to see how thick paint layers create texture like this.
