About this work

This painting shows a simple still life: three apples with thick, dark skins and a few bruises, sitting on a rough table. Behind them is a clay pot holding a loose bunch of white flowers with yellow centers. The background is a dark, muddy color, making the objects stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was slapped on. The apples look real, with shadows that make them pop against the table. If you like this style, look up impasto.
